A foot tendon tear occurs when one of the tendons that connect muscles to bones in the foot is partially or completely ruptured. These tendons are essential for both movement and stability, so an injury can lead to significant pain, swelling, and loss of function.
While tendon tears can happen to anyone, they are most common in athletes, active adults, and individuals with certain medical conditions that weaken tendon health.
Several factors can contribute to tendon tears in the foot, including:
from repetitive activities such as running, jumping, or prolonged standing
from falls, twists, or direct impact
due to aging and wear over time
like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, or gout that weaken tendons
that fails to support the foot correctly
Recognizing symptoms early allows for faster intervention and recovery. Common signs include:
Sharp or aching pain at the site of injury
Swelling and tenderness around the foot
Bruising or discoloration, especially after acute injury
Weakness and reduced ability to move the foot or toes
Stiffness and limited range of motion
Instability, with the foot feeling like it may “give way” during activity
Rest and activity modification to relieve strain
Physical therapy to restore stability and mobility
Anti-inflammatory medications for pain relief
At Aven Clinic, we prioritize regenerative medicine to restore tendon health without invasive surgery. Our two most advanced treatments are Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Uses your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets
Delivers growth factors directly into the injury site
Stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, and accelerates repair
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells are harvested from your bone marrow or fat tissue
Concentrated cells are injected into the tendon tear
Stimulates regeneration of tendon tissue and promotes long-term healing
Faster recovery and earlier return to normal activity
Lower risks, avoiding surgical complications and anesthesia
Natural healing using your body’s own biology
Durable outcomes with stronger, healthier tendon tissue
Regenerative medicine offers powerful advantages compared to traditional surgery:
These therapies are especially beneficial for:
Athletes and active adults looking to avoid surgery
Individuals with partial tendon tears or chronic overuse injuries
Patients seeking natural, science-driven solutions
Anyone looking to restore function and maintain long-term vitality
