When we think of misalignments and subluxations
we connect to the chiropractic treatments. But,
this thought might be limited to the spine as
chiropractors spend quite a bit of time treating
misalignments and problems with the spine. But,
are you aware that chiropractic treatment can
benefit you in various problems. There's one
condition in particular that you may not have
heard of and your chiropractic care can provide
immense benefit Cuboid Syndrome. But, are you
aware that chiropractic treatment can benefit you
in various problems. There's one condition in
particular that you may not have heard of and
your chiropractic care can provide immense
benefit Cuboid Syndrome. Cuboid syndrome results
from the injury of the joint and ligaments near
the cuboid bone causing it to tear. This is also
referred to as a cuboid subluxation, which means
that one of the bones in a joint is moved but not
fully out of place. If you have cuboid syndrome
you may experience pain on the lateral side of
the foot or the side of the little toe. People
with cuboid subluxation often feel pain around
the middle of the foot, or at the base of the
fourth and fifth toes. Sometimes, it is hard to
tell exactly where this pain comes from which
makes cuboid syndrome challenging to diagnose.
This is usually confused with a stress fracture,
but stress fractures are rare in the cuboid bone.

  • What Leads To Cuboid Syndrome?
  • The Cuboid bone is one of the 7 tarsal bones on
    the square-shaped foot. The cuboid bone is
    located on the outside of the foot, connecting
    the 4th and 5th metatarsals to the heel bone.
  • The most common causes of cuboid syndrome
    include
  • Injury This is the most common cause of ankle
    sprain. This occurs when the ankle suddenly
    twists inward or outward.
  • Repetitive Strain Tension resulting through the
    peroneus longus muscle from repetitive activities
    like jumping and running. This may cause
    excessive traction on the bone causing it to
    sublux.
  • Altered Foot Biomechanics It has been observed
    that most people suffering from cuboid
    subluxation have flat feet.
  • Overuse This is the most common cause of cuboid
    syndrome affecting athletes and dancers. These
    both tend to work through the pain and are
    intensely active in high-stress situations that
    increase the risk of accidents. The injuries due
    to overuse develop after frequent extended
    periods of intense activity, such as running.
  • Pronated Feet Cuboid syndrome might also be more
    common in people with pronated feet, which means
    that their feet turn inward as they walk. When a
    persons calf muscles (peroneus longus) are
    particularly tight, they can tug the cuboid bone
    out of place when the foot is pronated.

  • Symptoms Of Cuboid Syndrome
  • Pain on the lateral side of the foot is the main
    symptom of cuboid syndrome. The pain may develop
    suddenly or slowly over time.
  • Other symptoms of cuboid syndrome include
  • Pain on the lateral of the foot that is the side
    of the little toe.
  • Pain worsening with weight-bearing.
  • Pain can be dull and aching, or sharp and acute.
  • Difficulty walking.
  • Difficulty hopping.
  • Swelling near the affected area.
  • Pain worsens when lifting the heel and pushing
    off the toe.
  • Reduced range of motion of the foot and/or ankle.
  • Sensitivity on the bottom of the foot.
  • Pain refers to the outside of the ankle.
  • Redness near the affected area.
