What Is Peroneal Tendonitis?
Peroneal tendonitis is the inflammation or irritation of the peroneal tendons — two important tendons that run along the outside of your ankle and foot. These tendons help stabilize your foot and ankle and protect against ankle sprains.

FAQs
Is peroneal tendonitis permanent? Not with proper care. Early treatment and supportive devices usually resolve symptoms within weeks to months.
Can orthotics help with tendonitis? Yes. By controlling foot motion and reducing stress on the tendons, orthotics play a major role in long-term recovery.
Should I stop exercising? Rest is important in the early phase, but once symptoms subside, you can return to activity with proper support.
