Tarsal Coalition

Care for Rigid and Painful Flatfoot

Targeted Treatment to Improve Motion and Reduce Strain

Tarsal coalition occurs when two or more bones in the back of the foot are abnormally connected. This limits motion in the joints and can lead to stiff, painful flatfoot, difficulty with activity, frequent ankle sprains, and fatigue in the legs or feet. Symptoms often appear during adolescence as the bones harden and the coalition becomes more noticeable.

We begin with a detailed evaluation and imaging to determine the type and severity of the coalition. Treatment may include custom orthotics, supportive footwear, immobilization, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory care to reduce pain and improve function. For more advanced cases or coalitions that significantly restrict movement, surgical options may be discussed to restore mobility and relieve discomfort.

Our goal is to reduce pain, improve joint motion, and support healthier foot mechanics so you can stay active with less strain. With personalized care and careful monitoring, we help manage symptoms and protect long-term foot function.
