CUBOID SYNDROME

Cuboid syndrome is caused by a partial dislocation of the bones in the mid section of the foot. Symptoms of cuboid syndrome include: pain on the lateral/outside portion of the foot, swelling and may even cause limping. Some individuals have difficulty walking and jumping as well. Cuboid syndrome is more common in individuals with flat feet and who overpronate however it can occur due to: injury, repetitive stress/new stress, increase in weight, and poor biomechanics.

Cuboid syndrome can be treated with a variety of treatments including: rest, ice, compression, elevation, taping, footwear advice, orthotics and sometimes active release technique or foot mobilization techniques to put the cuboid back in alignment with the other bones of the foot.

If you or a loved one is suffering from this pain, it is important to see a Chiropodist.
