Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and Achilles tendinitis. It is characterized by pain and discomfort in the heel area, which can be severe and debilitating. To treat heel pain, it is important to address the underlying cause of the condition. Resting and avoiding activities that aggravate the heel pain is important. Physical therapy and stretching exercises can also be beneficial in reducing pain and inflammation. Custom-made orthotic inserts can help redistribute pressure on the heel and alleviate pain. In some cases, a podiatrist may recommend a heel pad or a night splint to help stretch the plantar fascia. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the problem.
