HEEL PAIN

WHAT IS HEEL PAIN?

One of the most common problems for patients with foot and ankle disorders is heel pain. The pain usually originates from a spot under the foot known as plantar surface or from the back of the heel. It is a painful disorder but the conditions don’t render the patient disabled or cause them severe pain. They hurt enough to limit daily activities like walking, standing or running. These treatments take a lot of time and effort to fix so it’s best to catch them early on.

HEEL PAIN CAUSES

There are two main causes for heel pain which are plantar fasciitis which occurs at the bottom of the heel and Achilles tendinitis which occurs at the back of the heel. The other causes include:

  • Plantar fasciitis.
  • Sprains and strains.
  • Fracture.
  • Achilles tendinitis.
  • Bursitis.
  • Ankylosing spondylitis.
  • Osteochondroses.
  • Reactive arthritis.
