Guide To Treating Peroneal Tendonitis

Cortisone Injections

Cortisone injections are not used unless strictly necessary, as they can cause damage to the tendons. Generally speaking, doctors will only resort to cortisone injections as treatment when the peroneal tendonitis is recurring and does not improve. New research has suggested while cortisone injections can be highly beneficial in the short term, they can actually slow-down or harm long-term progress. This is likely because patients will feel comfortable putting weight on the ankle and engaging in physical activities before the peroneal tendons have had the chance to properly heal. For the same reasons, these injections may actually increase a patient's odds of the injury happening again.
