Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome was the topic of http://www.CarpalTunnelRadio.com today (September 3, 2009.)  Since I didn't have enough time to cover everything about the causes and natural cures, next week we will continue the discussion.

Just like most other pain in your body, TTS has a cause.  In this case, the cause is usually muscles or other soft tissues.  That's very good news because soft tissues can be treated with natural therapies like ice and deep tissue massage.

Sometimes pain in the arch/toe/ankle area is caused by trigger points or muscles in your lower calf near the knee, around your heel or in the arch of your foot.  Pressing into these areas will be tender but that will allow your circulation to increase to the tight area. 

You can find more information at both http://www.SimplePainRelief.com (look at the Foot Pain Category) and at http://CarpalTunnelPainRelief.com (look at the Categories for Massage--how to find a therapist--and Triggers--how triggers points work.)

Getting rid of your tight muscles or trigger points will help your tarsal tunnel symptoms go away naturally.
