Treatment For Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain can be due to one of many issues such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendinopathy or 'growing' pains for a child. The pain may have multifactorial causes, but can lead to a significant disability in lifestyle due to the level of pain experienced.
Heel Pain can be triggered by improper walking style (biomechanics), activity levels, hormones, increased body weight or improper footwear. Often it is the soft tissues attaching to the underside of the heel bone causing most of the discomfort, however there are many other causes and should be thoroughly examined, and definite diagnoses made. There are many different conservative therapy treatments to address this discomfort, which your podiatrist can explore for you.
