General Health Information

One body part that most every uses each and every day and the way we get to and from places are our feet. This is the main reason that it makes sense to take care of our feet, the best we can.

What is Tendonitis Anyway?

First thing is, a tendon is the fibrous tissue that is going to connect the muscle to the bone. The tendon is very strong and works kind of like an elastic band. The purpose of this elastic tissue is to absorb the force from the bone to the muscle when you are performing any activity.

What occurs when there is to much force or strain on the tendon is what is called tendonitis. Then what happens is the tendon becomes inflamed and sore. Here are some reasons on how tendonitis can happen:

Overworking your muscles
Rigorous activity
Even time, as when we are getting older (lose the elasticity)

Treatment for Foot Tendonitis

The main thing to do is to stop the exercising and allow the tendonitis in foot to heal. This is one of the best things that you can do once you are diagnosed with either foot tendonitis or Achilles heel tendonitis. The next thing to do is apply ice packs to your foot while the foot is elevated.

If the pain and inflammation is to much to handle you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs. When the swelling goes down the pain will also go down.
