Tendonitis
Expert Tendonitis Solutions
Comprehensive Relief from Inflamed Tendons and Chronic Pain
Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of the tendons in your foot or ankle, the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bones, most commonly affecting the Achilles tendon, posterior tibial tendon, or peroneal tendons. This condition typically develops from repetitive motions, overuse during sports or work activities, sudden increases in physical activity, improper footwear, or age-related tendon degeneration, causing pain that worsens with movement, stiffness especially in the morning, swelling and warmth along the tendon, weakness in the affected area, and limited ability to perform activities that once felt effortless.
We conduct comprehensive evaluations to pinpoint which tendon is involved, determine whether you're dealing with acute inflammation or chronic degeneration (tendinosis), and identify biomechanical or training factors that triggered the condition. Our multifaceted treatment approach includes relative rest with activity modification to allow healing, ice and anti-inflammatory strategies, eccentric strengthening exercises proven to rebuild tendon strength, physical therapy techniques like ultrasound or laser therapy, custom orthotics or heel lifts to reduce tendon strain, proper footwear adjustments, and in persistent cases, advanced treatments such as platelet-rich plasma injections or shockwave therapy to stimulate healing.
Our dedication is to eliminate your tendon pain, restore full strength and flexibility, and get you back to your active lifestyle without fear of re-injury. Tendonitis requires patience and proper treatment—rushing recovery often leads to chronic problems or tendon rupture. We provide clear guidance on healing timelines and safe progression back to activity, helping you understand that with the right approach, tendons can heal completely and regain their resilience, allowing you to return to running, hiking, sports, or simply walking pain-free through your daily routine.RetryClaude can make mistakes.
