Tarsal tunnel syndrome treatment in Ballymena

If you’re experiencing burning, tingling or numbness on the inside of the ankle or sole, tarsal tunnel syndrome could be the cause. At Get In Step Podiatry in Ballymena, HCPC-registered chiropodist Dr. Elaine Hoey provides a specialist, evidence-led approach that focuses on the root cause, how your foot position and movement patterns contribute to nerve compression.

Our clinic is built around chiropody, gait and postural analysis, orthotics and lower limb biomechanics. Elaine’s approach is clinical and individual: we assess your symptoms carefully, examine lower limb alignment and function, and then plan targeted care to reduce pressure on the tibial nerve. This can help you move more comfortably whether your symptoms are triggered by walking, standing, footwear, or sport.

You may be offered a combination of biomechanical support and treatment aimed at improving how forces travel through the foot and ankle. For some patients, custom orthotics or supportive insoles are key to improving foot mechanics and reducing strain around the tarsal tunnel. Alongside this, we may recommend practical footwear and activity guidance to support recovery and reduce flare-ups.

• Clinical assessment to identify likely causes of nerve compression and rule out related foot problems.
• Gait and lower limb biomechanical analysis to understand how your movement contributes to symptoms.
• Targeted tarsal tunnel treatment plan to ease pain, tingling and numbness.
• Orthotic and support options (where appropriate) to improve alignment and reduce pressure on the nerve.
• Advice on footwear and self-management strategies to help prevent recurrence.

Get in Step Podiatry is Ballymena’s specialist foot health centre for lower limb pain and biomechanics. Elaine’s experience in chiropody and gait analysis means you’ll receive care that’s tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
