Heel Pain

Heel pain, also know as plantar fasciitis is the most common foot complaint among our patients. Usually patients complain of pain in the heel first thing in the morning, or pain after rising from a seated position. Common causes of heel pain include improper shoes, overuse, low arches, high arches or injury.
Diagnosis of heel pain (plantar fasciitis) is made with a thorough clinical exam and x rays. Treatment includes icing, stretching, proper shoe gear, inserts for the shoes, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injections and sometimes a walking boot.
