Treatment of Peroneal Tendonitis - Pain Free Physiotherapy Clinic
Peroneal Tendonitis is a common cause of pain around the back and outer side of the foot due to inflammation, irritation, or degeneration of the tendons. Tendonitis/ inflammation of the peroneal tendon or tendons occurs when the tendon is over-used or placed under too much tension, usually from repetitive movements causing micro-trauma on the tendon.
The initial treatment can be abbreviated as PRICE – protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.
The patient may have a painful limp, so the peroneal tendons need to be rested from weight-bearing activities.
