Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Information may not be reliable

Tarsal tunnel syndrome, also called posterior tibia nerve neuralgia or tibial nerve dysfunction, is far less common than carpal tunnel syndrome, but more debilitating. It can strike at any age, and it’s more common among women than men, primarily because of the types of shoes that women wear. If you’ve ever had carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrist, you’re also more likely to develop a similar condition in your ankles. Tarsal tunnel syndrome treatment eases your pain and prevents further complications, but it must be done by a trained specialist. Visit Premier Podiatry in Clifton, New Jersey for all your foot and ankle issues.

You may be more aware of carpal tunnel syndrome because of the notoriety it’s received over the past few decades in conjunction with the rise of computer use and the science of ergonomics. The carpal tunnel is the space in the top of your hands through which nerves run to your fingers. The tarsal tunnel is a space on the inside of each of your ankles through which a nerve runs to your feet.

When the tarsal tunnel is squeezed, the posterior tibial nerve is stressed, which leads to significant pain and even disability. It’s similar to the way you’re effected when the carpal tunnel is squeezed. You must receive a proper diagnosis before proceeding with any treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome. At Premier Podiatry in Clifton, NJ, Dr. Velimir Petkov is an expert at foot and ankle disorders. He quickly determines the best tarsal tunnel syndrome treatment for your specific foot pain.
