Expert chiropractic treatment in Richmond, KY — drug-free relief that addresses the root cause.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Understanding the Root Cause
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) is the foot-and-ankle equivalent of carpal tunnel syndrome. The tibial nerve passes through the tarsal tunnel — a narrow passage inside the ankle — and becomes compressed, causing pain, numbness, and tingling throughout the foot.
Common Causes
- •Flat feet causing overpronation and nerve compression
- •Ankle sprains and trauma causing swelling
- •Space-occupying lesions in the tarsal tunnel
- •Varicose veins causing venous congestion near the ankle
- •Systemic conditions: diabetes, arthritis, hypothyroidism
- •Heel valgus deformity
- •Tight retinaculum from poor ankle mechanics
How Chiropractic Helps
Chiropractic care for TTS addresses ankle and subtalar joint mechanics to reduce structural compression of the tibial nerve. Combined with soft tissue therapy, gait analysis, and therapeutic exercise, we provide lasting relief by treating the root biomechanical cause.
