Health Tip: When Tendinitis Affects Your Feet

When tendinitis affects the foot, even walking can become difficult.

The American Podiatric Medical Association says tendon inflammation can affect the foot due to:

• An injury.
• Overuse.
• Failure to properly stretch before an activity.
• Exercising without proper form.
• Having risk factors for tendinitis, such as flat feet, tight tendons or arthritis.
