Understanding the Causes of Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common condition that can significantly impact your daily life. It can result from various factors, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, and stress fractures. At The Foot Practice, we believe in identifying the root cause of your pain to offer tailored treatment options.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis, one of the leading causes of heel pain, occurs when the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed. This often results from overuse, faulty foot mechanics, or excessive strain. Our podiatrists are skilled in diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis, providing you with relief and long-term solutions.

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This condition is common among athletes or individuals who frequently engage in activities that involve repetitive stress on the Achilles tendon. The Foot Practice offers comprehensive treatment options to alleviate Achilles tendonitis and facilitate a speedy recovery.

Heel Spurs

Heel spurs are bony growths that occur on the underside of the heel bone. These growths often develop in response to long-term strain on the ligaments and muscles of the foot. The Foot Practice specializes in the diagnosis and management of heel spurs, ensuring you receive prompt and effective care.

Stress Fractures

Stress fractures can cause significant discomfort in the heel area. These are small cracks in the bones, typically caused by repetitive stress or overuse. Our experienced podiatrists will accurately diagnose your condition and provide appropriate treatment, allowing your stress fracture to heal properly.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a wide range of treatments to help relieve pain in the heel area and resolve the underlying causes. Our renowned podiatrists work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

Orthotics

Orthotics play a crucial role in providing support, improving foot alignment, and reducing pain. Our custom-made orthotic devices are designed to fit your feet perfectly, alleviating discomfort in the heel area while promoting proper foot function.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a vital component of treating and preventing heel pain. Our experienced therapists utilize various techniques, exercises, and modalities to help reduce inflammation, enhance flexibility, and improve overall foot health.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues. This innovative approach can effectively treat heel pain by targeting the affected area, promoting tissue regeneration, and reducing pain and inflammation.

Steroid Injections

In some cases, a steroid injection may be recommended to reduce inflammation and provide immediate relief from severe heel pain. Our podiatrists are trained experts in administering these injections, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the process.

Surgical Intervention

While surgery is typically a last resort, in severe cases where conservative treatments have failed to provide relief, our skilled podiatrists may recommend surgical intervention. Rest assured, our team is experienced in performing a wide range of foot surgeries, ensuring optimal outcomes and a speedy recovery.
