Posterior tibial tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon that supports your foot’s arch and runs along the inside of your ankle and foot.

It’s mainly caused by overuse and repetitive strain (tiny tears over time), though it can also come from an acute injury like a twist or fall.

Don't ignore these symptoms. This acute condition can become chronic and may lead to tissue deterioration and tendon dysfunction. Call us today and see how one of our experts can help!

Summer Workout Tip: Don't Skip the Water!

As temperatures rise, so does your risk of dehydration during exercise—and it can affect more than just your performance. Dehydration puts added stress on your muscles and joints, increasing the chance of cramps, strains, and injury.

Here's how to stay safe this summer:
• Drink before you're thirsty. Thirst is already a sign you're behind on fluids.
• Aim for 16 – 20 ounces of water 1 – 2 hours before exercise, and sip regularly throughout.
• Be extra cautious in the heat. You lose more fluids through sweat, which can affect joint lubrication and muscle function.
• Watch for warning signs: muscle cramps, dizziness, or fatigue may signal dehydration—stop and hydrate.

Your joints and muscles will thank you! Proper hydration is one of the simplest ways to protect your body during summer activity.
