About Peroneal Tendinopathy
What is it and what are my treatment options?
Peroneal Tendinopathy Overview
The peroneal tendons help stabilize and move the ankle and foot. Peroneal tendinopathy is peroneal tendon inflammation. Symptoms can be uncomfortable and make it hard to perform many foot and ankle movements. A Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) foot and ankle specialist should diagnose and treat the condition as soon as possible.
Symptoms & Causes
Peroneal tendinopathy symptoms include:
- Ankle and foot instability
- Pain
- Swelling
Common peroneal tendinopathy causes are:
- High foot arches
- Inadequate footwear
- Muscle imbalances
- Performing physical activities with poor technique
- Sudden increases in physical activity volume or intensity
Common Treatments:
Nonsurgical treatment options reduce symptoms and decrease inflammation. After a thorough evaluation, a CONA foot and ankle specialist may recommend:
- A walking boot
- Immobilization in a cast, splint or boot
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs)
- Rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE)
A corticosteroid injection may be offered for fast-acting symptom relief while other treatment options began to work. Surgery is not a treatment option.

I am happy with this practice all my questions are answered within 24 hours. Dr. Hoenig is great, his bedside manner is wonderful, he is very thorough, and makes personal calls after surgery to check on patients. I would definitely recommend to family and friends!
Tori S.This has been one of my most positive experiences at a Dr's office. I was treated with respect and love. They made my surgical procedure less stressful and very positive.
Mindy U.These are the best group of doctors that myself & my family have ever been treated by in this field of medicine. They listen to how you feel instead of telling you how you feel. Thank you all for your caring & kindness.
