Listen Later

What is the fastest way to calm down extensor tenosynovitis when you are a runner trying to keep training?

In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler explains his personal “secret weapon” for reducing inflammation in extensor tenosynovitis and helping runners get back to training faster.

Extensor tenosynovitis happens when the tendon sheaths on the top of the foot become irritated and inflamed. It can become painful with every step, every toe movement, and every run.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What extensor tenosynovitis actually is

• Why inflammation inside the tendon sheath becomes so painful
• Why tight shoelaces often trigger the problem
• Why oral anti-inflammatory medications may not help much
• The risks of corticosteroid injections around tendons
• How the contrast bath routine works
• Why alternating hot and cold water may rapidly reduce swelling
• How runners can calm irritation while protecting fitness

The goal is not simply reducing pain.

The goal is calming the inflammation fast enough that you can safely get back to running.
