What is Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)
At The Orthotics Clinic, we specialise in treating Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), a progressive condition that affects the tendon supporting your foot's arch. PTTD can lead to pain, flat feet, and difficulty walking if left untreated. PTTD occurs when the posterior tibial tendon, which runs from your calf to the inner part of your foot, becomes inflamed or damaged. This tendon plays a crucial role in supporting your foot's arch and maintaining proper foot alignment.
Symptoms
Common signs of PTTD include:
- Pain along the inside of your foot and ankle
- Gradual flattening of the arch
- Inward tilting of the ankle
- Difficulty walking, especially on uneven surfaces
- Swelling on the inner ankle
