Fibular tendinopathy, how to soothe tendon disorders?


Like many musculoskeletal disorders, fibular tendinopathy is often a very painful condition, which has a major impact on the daily lives of sufferers.

One of the main roles of the fibular tendons is to stabilize ankle balance, which is why their inflammation can be so disabling, particularly for athletes. What's more, if left untreated, these disturbances can lead to major tendon damage.

To achieve lasting relief from inflammation, it's essential to identify the source of the disturbance. This will make pain management all the more effective. Here are a few natural, easy-to-use solutions.

Article summary

What is fibular tendinopathy?

The ankle is a high-pressure joint, as it supports the body's weight and maintains its balance. On the outer lateral part, we find fibular tendons. Also known as peroneal tendonsThey pass through the retro-malleolar groove to reach the toes. The tendon of the long fibular muscle joins the first metatarsal and the tendon of the short fibular muscle joins the fifth metatarsal.

They act as dynamic stabilizers, playing an active role in plantar flexion and eversion.

The fibular tendons are therefore essential for ensure ankle balance and stability. But this function can be disrupted in the case of tendinopathy. Inflammation is generally triggered by a severe shock or repeated microtrauma. Pain appears on the side of the ankle, and movement becomes difficult, as does running and walking. The simple weight of the body on the foot is complicated and painful.

Why do fibular tendons become inflamed?

Athletes are particularly prone to inflammation of the fibular tendons. Certain activities, such as soccer, dance or rugby, place high and repeated demands on foot movement. Outdoor sports, such as trail running, impose high mechanical stresses on the foot when running on natural ground, increasing the risk of injury. Tendons become fatigued and eventually inflamed.

Other pathologies may be at the origin of the fibular tendinopathyThis is particularly true of rheumatism. People with naturally hollow feet may experience inflammation of the fibular tendons.

Last but not least, unsuitable footwear can play a part in the onset of ankle problems.

How do you recognize fibular tendinopathy?

The first symptoms of fibular tendinopathy is pain. Mainly located on the side of the ankle, it generally forces you to stop all activity. Other symptoms include

  • lameness to a greater or lesser extent
  • a feeling of instability ankle
  • sprains repeatedly
  • a difficult walk on uneven or uneven terrain

Whatever the symptoms, it's essential to consult a specialist as soon as possible to determine the cause of the disturbance. Not covered, fibular tendinopathy may worsen and cause greater damage.
