Definition: Peroneal Tendon injuries are caused by repetitive ankle movements usually in a sporting context or poor posture such a excess supination. The symptoms are pain, swelling, warmth or a combination of these at the outside edge of the foot, ankle or under the foot where the Peroneal tendons are attached.

Treatment: The treatment is twofold: use anti-inflammatory drugs and to ease the pain or, as a last resort, inject a cortico-steroid into the affected area to reduce the pain. We also use dry needling (acupuncture) depending on the patient. We can supply an orthosis and recommend new training shoes to improve foot function.
