What is Medial Plantar Neuropraxia?
Medial Plantar Neuropraxia or Entrapment is a chronic compression of the medial plantar nerve. The medial plantar nerve branches from the Posterior Tibia nerve above and behind the ankle, to travel medially to the inside of your foot where it curves under the arch.
It is here that it enters a tunnel The abductor hallucis muscle runs alongside the medial plantar nerve. When there is repetitive impact to the muscle, the muscle can become inflamed. This presses against the nerve and causes compression or entrapment.
