Do you experience weakness in your foot and ankle? Do you experience electric shock or pins and needle sensation down the foot and ankle? You could have peroneal nerve entrapment.
Our peroneal nerve/ fibular nerve is a nerve that crosses the knee to supply sensation and musular strengths to the top of our foot and outside of our shin, the tibia.(See illustration)
Some leading causes of fibular nerve entrapment are:
A person with peroneal nerve entrapment may experience:
• Pins and needle, electric shock sensation at the top of foot and shin.
• Slapping of foot on the ground when walking, a phenomenon known as foot-drop.
• Night pain.
Chiropractic treatments have been well documented to manage fibular nerve entrapment in a drug-free and effective manner. The initial phase of treatment would focus on restoring proper biomechanical function of the surrounding joints and musculatures. Treatments would usually involve joint manipulation/mobilisation, trigger point therapy, home stretches and kinesiotaping. The patients would then be gradually exposed to an exercise program aimed at strengthening the region involved.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, please do not hesitate to come in for an examination at Spearwood Chiropractic. Call us on 0481342837 to make an appointment.
