Understanding tarsal tunnel syndrome and nerve pain in the feet, and how we help in Waverly.
Looking for help with tarsal tunnel syndrome and nerve pain in the feet in Waverly? Our Waverly clinic at 110 Hillwood Drive offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome happens when the tibial nerve gets squeezed as it passes along the inner ankle. It works a bit like carpal tunnel in the wrist. The pressure can make the nerve send odd signals to the foot.
It often shows up in people with flat feet, past ankle injuries, or swelling around the ankle. Most people notice burning, tingling, or numbness in the sole. Getting checked early can protect the nerve from lasting irritation.

Diagnosis and care
How we treat tarsal tunnel syndrome and nerve pain in the feet in Waverly.
Step 1 · Diagnosis
We ask about your symptoms and gently tap along the nerve to see if it causes tingling. We also look at your foot shape and how you walk. X-rays, ultrasound, or an MRI referral can check for bone problems, cysts, or other growths. In some cases we may suggest nerve testing or blood tests to look for other causes of numbness.
Step 2 · Treatment
Rest and changes in activity can calm the nerve. Supportive shoes and custom orthotics may ease the strain from flat feet. Bracing, taping, or a short time in a boot can limit motion around the ankle. Some people benefit from injections to reduce swelling or from physical therapy to improve movement and strength.
Surgery may be talked about if the nerve stays pinched and other care has not helped. The goal is to release the tight tissue or remove whatever is pressing on the nerve.
