Post-Tib Tendonitis
What is a Post-Tib Tendonitis?
Post-Tib Tendonitis is a strain placed on the posterior tibial tendon. The posterior tibial tendon runs along the inside of the ankle and the foot. When there is post-tibial tendon disfunction, the tendon does not function to hold up the arch, resulting in flat feet. This can lead to heel pain, arch pain, plantar fasciitis and/or heel spurs. With post-tib tendonitis, pain will be more severe upon weight bearing, especially while walking or running.

Post-Tib Tendonitis occurs when the muscle is overused and the tendon (soft tissue) that connects the muscle to your bone is strained. Years of over-pronation (flat feet) can also lead to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. If you keep overusing the muscle, damage to the tendon builds up and tendonitis develops. At first the pain or swelling may come and go quickly, but eventually the problem may become more permanent.

Symptoms
Belgium HotelsWarts may appear spongy, with tiny red, brown, or black spots. They can grow up to an inch or more across, and can occur alone (solitary) or with smaller warts clustered nearby (mosaic). Warts are sometimes mistaken for corns or calluses. They can persist for years, and reoccur in the same spot. If left untreated, warts can spread to other parts of the foot, to the hand, or other areas of the body.

Treating Post-Tib Tendonitis
To treat post-tib tendonitis, you can reduce your symptoms by limiting activity to control the pain and swelling. Stay off your feet a few days, then slowly increase your activity. Rest allows the tissues in your foot to heal.

Conservative treatments (non-surgical treatments) include wearing a foot orthotic with rear-foot posting and longitudinal arch support, to reduce strain on the post tibial tendon reduce strain on the post tibial tendon prevent excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. The orthotic should also be designed with materials to comfort the foot and absorb shock.
