Sinus Tarsi Syndrome Toronto

Relieve persistent ankle pain and restore your mobility with podiatric care.

Persistent Outer Ankle Pain?

Ongoing pain or instability in the outer ankle can be frustrating, especially when it disrupts your daily activities, exercise routine, or simply standing for long periods. Many patients suffer silently, assuming it will get better on its own until it’s impossible to ignore.

If you’ve experienced recurring sprains, ankle tenderness, or difficulty walking on uneven ground, you may have a case of sinus tarsi syndrome. It’s a condition that affects the small, tunnel-like space on the outside of your ankle, often after injury or due to overuse. Thankfully, it’s treatable with the right care.

What is Sinus Tarsi Syndrome?

Sinus tarsi syndrome is a painful condition that affects the small cavity between the talus and calcaneus bones in your foot. This area, called the sinus tarsi, is an essential structure for sensation, balance and movement. When it becomes inflamed—often due to ankle sprains, repetitive stress, or flat feet—it leads to discomfort, instability, and sometimes a sensation of the ankle “giving out.”

Our chiropodists assess and manage this often-overlooked condition. We combine knowledge with evidence-based care.

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome Symptoms

Wondering if you have sinus tarsi syndrome? Here are some common signs:

• Persistent pain or tenderness on the outside of the ankle
• Ankle instability or a feeling that it might “roll”
• Pain that worsens with walking on uneven surfaces
• Difficulty with activities that involve turning or twisting
• Swelling or stiffness in the ankle area

At Step Right Foot Clinic, our initial consultation will consist of a full gait assessment, biomechanical analysis, and personalised treatment planning.
