The Role of Orthotics in Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Tarsal tunnel syndrome, or TTS, can bring about pain, tingling, and numbness in the feet. This is due to inflammation in the posterior tibial nerve, found along the inside of the ankle and foot. Nerve damage and compression, often stemming from injuries like ankle sprains or health conditions such as arthritis or diabetes, contribute to TTS. Orthotics can play a pivotal role in managing symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome. These specialized devices help alleviate pressure on the affected area and provide much-needed support to the arch of the foot. By reducing the strain on the tibial nerve, orthotics aid in mitigating the pain and discomfort associated with TTS. If you are suffering with foot pain of this type, it is suggested that you seek an early diagnosis and appropriate treatment from a podiatrist, which may include custom-made orthotics.

The benefits of custom orthotics are far-reaching and can make a significant impact on your daily life. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance, a healthcare worker on your feet every day, someone who experiences chronic foot pain, or someone who wants to improve their overall comfort and well-being, custom orthotics can be a game changer. 

Custom orthotics provide support, stability, and relief for a variety of foot conditions ranging from flat feet to heel pain. They can even help prevent injuries and address more severe foot concerns, such as plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot issues.
