5. Ankle Braces
There are some cases of peroneal tendonitis that are far more severe than others, and things like your recovery time and what type of therapy your doctor will prescribe for the treatment of the condition are all dependant on just how severe your individual case is considered. In more severe cases, surgery is used as a last resort, but other physical therapy measures can be employed before it reaches this point.
If peroneal tendonitis has caused any alterations or damage to the ankle (for example, by healing in the wrong way and then being injured again), your doctor will recommend a treatment that allows the ankle to remain in one place, greatly reducing your chances of further injury.
Specifically for peroneal tendonitis, ankle braces are most often recommended to immobilize the ankle, and depending on the severity of the injury absolutely no harsh movement might be recommended while it’s in recovery.
