Tarsal Tunnel Pain? What Really Works (and What Doesn’t) | Dr. Bob Baravari

Описание: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is one of the most challenging foot conditions to diagnose — and because of that, it’s often treated incorrectly. Much like carpal tunnel in the hand, the tarsal tunnel is a narrow space on the inside of the ankle where the nerve that powers and provides sensation to the bottom of the foot travels.

In this video, Dr. Bob Baravarian explains what causes tarsal tunnel syndrome, how to correctly diagnose it, and which treatments actually lead to long-term relief.

✨ What the Tarsal Tunnel Does:
🦶 Protects the main nerve supplying the sole of the foot
🔌 Carries sensation to the heel, arch, and bottom of the toes
⚙️ Helps coordinate foot stability and movement

✨ How Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Develops:
⚠️ Ankle fractures that form bone spurs
⚠️ Ganglion cysts pressing on the nerve
⚠️ Flat-foot deformities that stretch or “tether” the nerve
⚠️ Chronic irritation or compression inside the tunnel

✨ Why Diagnosis Is Critical:
🧪 Nerve conduction testing
🖥️ MRI to evaluate the tunnel and surrounding structures
👣 A detailed physical exam
📌 Surgery is only ~50% successful without an accurate diagnosis —
but with proper testing, success rates rise to 90–95%

✨ Treatment Options:
🦶 Custom orthotics or immobilization
💉 Cortisone injections to reduce inflammation
🧬 Stem cell therapy to support nerve healing
🔓 Surgical “release” of the nerve when conservative care fails — including freeing the smaller branches entering the foot

When properly diagnosed and treated, tarsal tunnel syndrome does not have to be a lifelong problem. Many patients experience significant improvement with the right care plan.
