Tendonitis — Restore Movement & End the Pain

Targeted care that ends tendon pain and restores full mobility.
Tendonitis in the foot or ankle occurs when the tendons that connect muscle to bone become irritated, overloaded, or inflamed. What starts as mild discomfort can progress into persistent pain, stiffness, and restricted activity.
At About Feet Podiatry Center, we treat tendon injuries every day — fast, focused, and by specialists who work exclusively with foot and ankle conditions.

Why You Should See Us Sooner Rather Than Later

These are not “just aches.” Untreated tendonitis often worsens and can lead to more invasive treatment later. That’s why we provide:
  • Same-day or rapid-access scheduling — no long waits for care.
  • Specialist-level diagnosis and treatment by experienced podiatrists.
  • Evaluation of mechanics, structure, and root causes for lasting recovery — not just symptom relief.

What Causes Tendonitis (and How It Shows Up)

Tendonitis usually develops due to overuse, poor mechanics, or structural problems in the foot or ankle. Common causes include:
  • Repetitive activities or sudden increases in motion (running, training, or work demands)
  • Abnormal arch alignment — flat feet or high arches
  • Improper or unsupportive footwear
  • Prior injury or tendon damage that never fully healed
  • Age-related changes, circulation issues, or systemic conditions that slow healing
You may experience:
  • Pain during or after activity
  • Stiffness or tightness when moving
  • Swelling or tenderness along the tendon path
  • A pulling or fatigue sensation in the foot or ankle
  • Worsening pain or loss of function if left untreated

How We Treat Tendonitis

We tailor treatment to your specific tendon injury — relieving pain fast and preventing recurrence.
  • Precise Evaluation: Comprehensive physical exam, gait and structural analysis, and imaging (MRI) if needed.
  • Conservative Care: Anti-inflammatory therapy, supportive footwear, custom orthotics, bracing, and activity modification.
  • Advanced Surgical Repair: For chronic or severe cases, we perform surgical reconstruction to restore tendon structure and strength.
  • Rehabilitation & Prevention: Gradual return to activity, strengthening and flexibility programs, and long-term mechanical correction.
