Orthotics/MLS laser: A partial posterior tibial tendon tear often forms a lumpy scar in the area of pain. Other conservative treatments can include the use of custom orthotics to hold the arch up to reduce the strain on that tendon. The MLS laser which is a cold non painful laser treatment program can be helpful too.
