Medial ankle pain after runs or hikes? It might be Posterior Tibial Tendon Disorder (PTTD)—a leading cause of adult flatfoot.
Red flags: pain/swelling on the inside of the ankle/foot, a flattening arch, more pronation, or trouble doing a single-leg heel raise.
Smart prevention & rehab
• Replace worn shoes; use arch support/orthotics if you overpronate
• Eccentric calf + posterior tibialis work, plus hip/glute/core control
• Mix in low-impact cross-training and real rest days
How we help: We use acupuncture, dry needling, and cupping alongside bracing/orthotics from your PT or DC to reduce pain, improve local circulation, and address muscle imbalances—so you can start strengthening sooner and safer. Early assessment matters.
