What Is Heel Pain?
The heel bone is the largest in the foot—and one of the most prone to injury. Heel pain often stems from overuse, stress, or underlying conditions such as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to restoring foot function and preventing complications.
Common Causes of Heel Pain
Heel pain may result from various conditions, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis – Inflammation of the ligament connecting heel to toes.
- Achilles Tendonitis – Overuse of the tendon attaching calf to heel.
- Heel Fractures – Often caused by trauma or falls.
- Heel Spurs – Calcium deposits that cause sharp pain.
- Bursitis – Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs in the heel joint.
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome – Nerve entrapment near the ankle.
- Sever’s Disease – Common in adolescents from rapid growth and activity.
Who Needs Heel Pain Treatment?
You may need to see a specialist if you’re experiencing:
- Persistent heel or arch pain
- Swelling, redness, or warmth in the heel
- Sharp pain upon standing or walking
- Limited mobility in the foot
- Morning heel stiffness
- Pain that worsens with activity
Don’t wait for your condition to worsen. Early intervention leads to faster, long-term relief.
