TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
MANUAL THERAPY IS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR JOINTS AND MUSCLES THAT ARE RESTRICTED AND LACK ADEQUATE MOBILITY AND RANGE OF MOTION.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by repeated pressure that results in damage on the posterior tibial nerve. Your tibial nerve branches off of the sciatic nerve and is found near your ankle.
The tibial nerve runs through the tarsal tunnel, which is a narrow passageway inside your ankle that is bound by bone and soft tissue. Damage of the tibial nerve typically occurs when the nerve is compressed as a result of consistent pressure.
SYMPTOMS:
- Severely flat feet, stretch the tibial nerve
- varicose veins in the membrane surrounding the tibial nerve
- inflammation from arthritis
- lesions and masses like tumors or lipomas near the tibial nerve
- injuries or trauma, ankle sprain, fracture inflammation and swelling
