Guide To Treating Peroneal Tendonitis

Wear Supportive Footwear

One way to prevent peroneal tendonitis is to wear supportive footwear. Supportive footwear can also help prevent a recurrence of the condition. Runners with peroneal tendonitis need shoes that can help correct their strides to keep their feet from rolling inward or outward. The condition is also more likely to affect individuals with high arches, so neutrally-designed shoes engineered to help with pronation are ideal. It's also helpful to have a high heel-to-toe drop in the shoe, which encourages the heel to strike the ground. While this causes higher impacts during a run, it lets individuals roll through the stride and pronate properly. This reduces stress on the peroneal tendons in the outer foot. A shock-absorbing shoe is necessary for promoting healing and reducing stress with any running injury, peroneal tendonitis included. The entire sole should have good cushioning, with a particular focus on midsole cushioning to support the arches.
