Common Side Effects Ankle Pain Swelling Redness Flat Foot << Back to the 3D Foot
	Description: Posterior Tibialis Tendonitis is a strain placed on the posterior Tibialis tendon.  The posterior Tibialis tendon runs along the inside of the ankle and the foot. Problems it causes: When there is post-Tibialis tendon disjunction, 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-tibial Tendonitis, pain will be more severe upon weight bearing, especially while walking or running. Symptoms of Posterior Tibialis Tendonitis Pain and swelling on the inside of the ankle Loss of the arch and the development of a flatfoot Gradually developing pain on the outer side of the ankle or foot Weakness and an inability to stand on the toes Tenderness over the mid foot, especially when under stress during activity   What Causes It: Injury is the main cause. Most injury is caused from strain on the Posterior Tibialis Tendon from over use from sport activity. Injury form impact or fall. Walking incorrectly on the inside of the foot. Diseases such as arthritis. Weight gain. How to help: Without treatment, the flatfoot that develops from posterior Tibialis tendon dysfunction eventually becomes rigid. Arthritis develops in the hind foot. Pain increases and spreads to the outer side of the ankle. The way you walk may be affected and wearing shoes may be difficult. The treatment your doctor recommends will depend on how far the condition has progressed. In the early stages, posterior Tibialis tendon dysfunction can be treated with rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen, and immobilization of the foot for 6 to 8 weeks with a rigid below-knee cast or boot to prevent overuse. After the cast is removed, shoe inserts such as a heel wedge or arch support are commonly used. If the condition is advanced, the foot will flatten and deform requiring custom made orthotics.
