What is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition due to repeated pressure that causes damage on the posterior tibial nerve. The tibial nerve runs from the leg down into the feet.
The circulatory system can be negatively affected from lack of physical activity, sitting for long periods of time, not stretching throughout the day, and obesity as well.
Signs of poor circulation:
Muscle pain
stiffness or weakness
Numbness or crampness in the legs
Sometimes, poor blood circulation in the feet and legs can be caused by other conditions, such as the damaging or inflammation of blood vessels.
Treatment:
Examination by preferred podiarist
Refer patient to vein specialist for examination and testing
Prescribe medication to help improve circulation
