Peroneal Tendonitis

Expert Care for Peroneal Tendonitis

Diagnosis and Treatment for Ankle Tendon Pain

Peroneal Tendonitis is the inflammation and swelling of the stabilizing tendons on the outside of the ankle, typically caused by repetitive stress, overuse, or improper foot mechanics. This condition leads to significant discomfort, instability, and restricted daily activity. Symptoms often include swelling and warmth at the ankle, sharp pain that worsens when the foot turns, and instability when bearing weight.

The specialists at Missouri Foot & Ankle provide immediate, specialized diagnosis based on clinical exam and medical history, using X-rays or scans if necessary. Our customized treatment plans focus on reducing inflammation and easing strain. Treatment often includes Conservative Care (rest and supportive devices like braces), NSAIDs for pain relief, and Physical Therapy (stretching and modalities like ice/ultrasound). Surgical Intervention is reserved for chronically severe cases or tendon tears. Factors contributing to the condition include overuse, recurrent ankle injuries, and unsupportive footwear.
