Foot Tendonitis

Foot and ankle tendonitis commonly affects many Americans and can hinder many physical activities including dancing.  The causes of foot and ankle tendonitis are many but often result from overuse and repetitive movements.  Certain professions such as ballet dancers and athletes are also particularly prone to tendonitis of their toes because of the stress placed on their feet.

Management of atraumatic foot and ankle problems includes rest, activity modifications, anti-inflammatory, appropriate footwear modifications, and a stretching and strengthening exercise program.
