Treatment For tibial nerve dysfuntion is aimed at maximizing mobility and independent self-care. The cause should be identified and treated as appropriate. In some cases, no treatment is required and recovery is spontaneous. Surgical removal of lesions that press on the nerve may benefit some people.

Over-the-counter analgesics or prescription medications may be needed to control pain (neuralgia). Various other medications may be used to reduce the stabbing pains that some persons experience, including gabapentin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, or tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline). Whenever possible, their use should be avoided or minimized to reduce the risk of side effects of medications.

Physical therapy exercises may be appropriate for some people to help them maintain muscle strength. Orthopedic assistance may maximize the ability to walk. This may include use of braces, splints, orthopedic shoes, or other appliances. Vocational counseling, occupational therapy, occupational changes, job retraining, or similar interventions may be recommended.
