Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction Treatment

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) occurs when the tendon that supports the arch of your foot weakens or tears. Treatment usually starts with conservative methods like rest, ice, and physical therapy to strengthen the foot and improve flexibility. Braces or custom orthotic inserts may help support the arch. If these methods don’t relieve pain or improve function, more advanced options like steroid injections or, in severe cases, surgery may be considered. The goal is to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent further damage to the foot.
