3. Can Cause Higher Arches
There are plenty of different health conditions that can go hand-in-hand with peroneal tendonitis. Some of them might be present right at the beginning of the injury and occur in almost all cases – inflammation is common in the majority of tendonitis cases, and should be treated as a separate symptom with the application of heat, massage and the use of anti-inflammatory medication – but it’s not the only common condition.
A repetitive or long-lasting peroneal tendonitis injury can also put you at a higher risk of developing higher foot arches, which can be a very painful condition that can lead to other issues in turn, such as back pain, and might even affect the way you walk in the long run.
Higher arches should be treated along with peroneal tendonitis physical therapy, and corrective shoes have shown a lot of promise in helping to treat higher arches and relieve associated pain.
