Learn tips to help get rid of pinched nerve in foot and other foot problems like plantar fasciitis and heel spurs

1. Pinched Nerve in Foot
What is it & How you can Treat It?

2. Pinched Nerve in Foot
• This is when a nerve
supplying the entire
foot or part of the
foot is compressed
hence blocking the
nerve
communication in
the foot.

3. Signs of a Pinched Nerve in Foot
• Numbness in the area supplied by the
compressed nerve.
• Burning and tingling sensation on top or
beneath the foot.
• Swelling on the area affected.
• Pain between the toes especially the forefoot
• Pain in the ball of the foot especially when
pressure is applied on it.

5. Causes of Pinched Nerve in Foot
• Neuroma
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Heel Spurs
• Sciatica

6. Neuroma
• A neuroma is a nerve tumor.
• It is caused by the enlargement of the nerve
tissue normally found stuck between the 3rd
and 4th toes.
• Signs of neuroma are; a burning sensation,
numbness, or tingling between the affected
toes & in the ball of foot.

8. Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• What is the tarsal tunnel?
The tarsal tunnel is a space in the foot formed
between bones and overlying fibrous tissue.
Within the tarsal tunnel lies a nerve called the
posterior tibial nerve. The tarsal tunnel is
walled on one side by sturdy bones, and on
the other by tough fibrous tissue.

10. What is Tarsal tunnel syndrome?
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome results when the
posterior tibial nerve is compressed within the
tarsal tunnel.

11. Signs of Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Numbness over the bottom of the foot, as
well as complaints of pain, burning, and
tingling over the base of the foot and heel.

12. Plantar Fasciitis
• Plantar
fasciitis refers to
the syndrome of
inflammation of the
band of tissue that
runs from the heel
along the arch of
the foot

13. Signs of Plantar Fasciitis
• The most common complaint is pain and stiffness in
the bottom of the heel. The heel pain may be dull or
sharp. The bottom of the foot may also ache or burn.
The pain is usually worse:
• In the morning when you take your first steps
• After standing or sitting for a while
• When climbing stairs
• After intense activity
• The pain may develop slowly over time, or suddenly
after intense activity.

14. Heel Spurs
• A heel spur is a calcium deposit on the
underside of the heel bone. On an X-ray, a
heel spur protrusion can extend forward by as
much as a half-inch.

16. Signs of Heel Spurs
• Heel spurs often cause no symptoms but can be
associated with intermittent or chronic pain --
especially while walking, jogging, or running -- if
inflammation develops at the point of the spur
formation. In general, the cause of the pain is not the
heel spur itself but the soft-tissue injury associated
with it.
• Many people describe the pain of heel spurs and
plantar fasciitis as a knife or pin sticking into the
bottom of their feet when they first stand up in the
morning -- a pain that later turns into a dull ache. They
often complain that the sharp pain returns after they
stand up after sitting for a prolonged period of time.

17. Sciatica
• Sciatica is the name given to any sort of pain that is
caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic
nerve.
• The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It
runs from the back of your pelvis, through your
buttocks, and all the way down both legs, ending at
your feet.
• When something compresses or irritates the sciatic
nerve, it can cause a pain that radiates out from your
lower back and travels down your leg to your calf.
Sciatic pain can range from being mild to very painful.

19. Symptoms of Sciatica
• Numbness
• Tingling
• Muscle weakness
• Loss of tendon reflexes
• Pain in the back of the affected thigh, leg and
feet.

20. Relation between Sciatica and Pinched
Nerve in Foot
• The Sciatic nerve supplies the leg and feet and
when this nerve is compressed its symptoms
radiate through to the affected foot.

21. Recap of Causes of Pinched Nerve in
Foot
• Neuroma
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Heel Spurs
• Sciatica
