Treatment of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Corticosteroid injections Orthoses Sometimes surgery Injections of a corticosteroid/anesthetic mixture into the area may relieve pain from tarsal tunnel syndrome. Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) may be used at first and may relieve some symptoms. Other treatments include wrapping the foot and placing specially constructed devices in the shoe (orthoses). When other treatments do not relieve the pain, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve may be necessary.
