    Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and Nerve Decompression Q&A

    What is the tarsal tunnel?

    The tarsal tunnel is a narrow space located on the inside of the ankle, containing tendons, arteries, veins, and nerves, all protected overhead by a thick ligament. This area can become compressed, leading to significant foot and ankle dysfunction known as tarsal tunnel syndrome.

    What are the symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome?

    Symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome include burning, tingling, numbness, sensations of electrical shocks, pain, and general dysfunction in the foot and ankle. These symptoms are often intermittent and can be triggered by certain movements or activities.

    What causes tarsal tunnel syndrome?

    Several factors can cause tarsal tunnel syndrome, including varicose veins or soft tissue masses, ankle injuries, structural deformities such as flat feet, anatomic abnormalities, and systemic conditions like diabetes.

    How is tarsal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?

    Diagnosis begins with a comprehensive clinical examination, often accompanied by additional diagnostic studies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests to accurately identify the cause and determine the best treatment plan.
