Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Toronto

Say goodbye to foot pain and tingling with our tailored solutions for tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Struggling with Foot Pain, Numbness, or Tingling?

Do you experience burning, tingling, or shooting pain along the inside of your ankle or bottom of your foot? Such symptoms can seriously impact your day-to-day life – from walking comfortably to getting a good night’s sleep. If this sounds familiar, you may have tarsal tunnel syndrome, a condition often overlooked until it becomes unbearable.

Ignoring these symptoms can worsen the nerve damage and make treatment more complex. At Step Right Foot Clinics in Toronto, we can treat this debilitating condition before it preoccupies your life.

What is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) occurs when the posterior tibial nerve is compressed or squeezed as it travels through the tarsal tunnel, a narrow space inside the ankle. This condition is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist but affects the feet.

Often caused by flat feet, injuries, or systemic conditions like diabetes, TTS can lead to chronic pain if left untreated. Chiropodists focus on reducing pressure, improving foot mechanics, and addressing the root cause of nerve compression.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms

• Burning or tingling sensations in the ankle or sole
• Numbness in the toes or foot
• Shooting or radiating pain from the ankle down to the arch
• Symptoms worsen with prolonged standing or walking
• A sense of “pins and needles”

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Treatments

At Step Right Foot Clinic, we offer a multi-modal approach to treatment which addresses both symptoms and underlying causes:

• Activity modification and change of footwear to reduce pressure
• Custom-made orthotics in Toronto to realign the foot and reduce nerve pressure
• Soft tissue therapy to reduce inflammation and support nerve healing
• Taping or bracing to stabilize the foot and decrease irritation
• Shockwave therapy for stubborn cases
