What is Tendonitis?
Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the thick, fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. In the feet and ankles, tendonitis often develops from overuse, injury, or repetitive strain, commonly affecting the Achilles tendon, posterior tibial tendon, or peroneal tendons. Without proper treatment, tendonitis can become chronic and limit mobility.
Common Symptoms of Tendonitis
- Pain along the affected tendon
- Swelling or tenderness
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
- Warmth or redness over the tendon
- Pain that worsens with movement or activity
- A thickened or bumpy feeling along the tendon
How We Treat Tendonitis
At Feet First Foot Care, we tailor tendonitis treatment to your specific condition and activity level. Initial care often includes rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain. Physical therapy exercises are prescribed to strengthen the tendon and improve flexibility. For persistent or severe cases, we offer Remy Laser therapy to stimulate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and promote blood flow to the affected area. Custom orthotics may be recommended to support proper foot alignment and reduce stress on the tendon. In rare cases, surgical intervention may be considered to repair or release the tendon if conservative measures are ineffective.
