Causes of Tendonitis Pain in Ankles and Feet

Tendonitis in the foot and ankle often results from repetitive motion, overuse, or sudden increases in activity levels. Runners, athletes, and individuals who engage in high-impact activities are particularly prone to developing tendonitis due to the strain on their tendons. Poor footwear and improper alignment can also contribute to the development of tendonitis by placing added pressure on the tendons.

The Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, and the peroneal tendons along the outer edge of the foot are especially susceptible to inflammation. Other factors, such as age and underlying conditions like arthritis, can weaken tendons over time, making them more vulnerable to irritation and injury. Our podiatrist can assess these factors and help you take preventive steps to avoid pain from foot and ankle tendonitis in the future.

Signs & Symptoms of Tendonitis

It’s never a good idea to ignore the warning signs of tendonitis, as early intervention is key to preventing chronic pain and long-term damage to your foot or ankle tendons. While occasional foot discomfort is common, certain persistent symptoms like these indicate it’s time to seek professional care:

  • Persistent pain in the foot, ankle, or Achilles tendon
  • Swelling and tenderness around the affected area
  • Pain that worsens with movement or activity
  • Stiffness and limited range of motion in the foot or ankle
  • Pain on the outside of the foot or along the Achilles tendon
Recognition is the first step toward relief: If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait until the pain becomes unbearable. At StrideCare, our specialized team can diagnose and treat your tendonitis before it impacts your daily activities and active lifestyle. Schedule your evaluation today—because you deserve to walk, run, and move without pain.

Frequently Asked Questions about Foot & Ankle Tendonitis

Tendonitis can result from repetitive strain, sudden increases in physical activity, wearing improper footwear, or conditions like arthritis that weaken the tendons over time.

Healing time varies based on severity, but mild cases may improve within a few weeks, while more severe cases can take several months. A tailored treatment plan can support recovery.

Tendonitis refers to inflammation of a tendon, usually due to overuse or injury, whereas tendinopathy is a broader term that includes both inflammation (tendonitis) and chronic tendon degeneration, often occurring with repeated strain over time.
It’s best to avoid activities that strain the affected area. Resting the tendon allows it to heal faster. Low-impact exercises like swimming or cycling may be recommended, but consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
