Enthesitis is inflammation of an enthesis, the site where a tendon, ligament, or joint capsule attaches to bone. It can cause localized pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness, particularly during movement or pressure on the affected area.
Common sites include the heels, Achilles tendon insertions, the soles of the feet, knees, elbows, and pelvis.

Enthesitis is frequently associated with spondyloarthritis, including psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, although it may also occur due to mechanical stress or overuse.
