Extensor Tendinitis
Extensor tendinitis doesn't have to end in surgery. These are the products I recommend before we ever discuss more invasive treatment options.
Extensor tendinitis occurs when the tendons along the top of the foot become irritated or inflamed, often from overuse, repetitive activity, or pressure from tight-fitting shoes. This can cause pain, tenderness, and discomfort across the top of the foot, especially during walking or exercise. Treatment focuses on reducing irritation, relieving pressure on the tendons, and supporting proper foot function to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
Alternatives Before Surgery
Our philosophy is simple: start with the least invasive solution that helps you stay active and comfortable. These physician-selected products are often the first step toward relief from bunions, hammertoes, and toe alignment problems.
