What Is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes through a narrow space on the inside of the ankle called the tarsal tunnel.
When this nerve becomes compressed or irritated, it can lead to symptoms such as burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting pain in the foot. Symptoms may worsen with activity or prolonged standing.
If left untreated, nerve compression can lead to worsening symptoms and potential long-term nerve damage.
