Heel pain is one of the most common reasons that patients come to see us at our foot care practice. If you are experiencing
Silverton New Jersey foot pain, we urge you to visit our practice as almost all foot pain can be treated. Heel pain is generally not caused by one single injury, but is generally caused by repeated wear to the foot over a period of time. Athletes who commonly run and jump on hard surfaces are very prone to developing heel pain. Sometimes a patient will have plantar fasciitis, another term for heel pain, due to inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Inflammation can occur along the tendons that run between the heel and the toes of the foot. Our foot doctor will be able to evaluate your specific heel pain and provide you with proper treatment. An x-ray will show whether or not you are suffering from a heel spur. Sometimes prescribed orthotics can help to alleviate heel pain. Heel pain can also be the result of walking gait abnormalities, also referred to as faulty biomechanics. This can place too much stress on the heel bone and the tissues that attached to it. If this is the case, orthotics will be extremely helpful in helping to alleviate this problem. When a patient has a heel spur, they have a bony growth on the underside of the heel bone. Heel pain can be aggravated by shoes that lack appropriate support, especially around the arch of the foot. Heel pain is often felt after you have been resting for a long while and just get up to walk. Our podiatrist will assess the exact cause of your heel pain and provide proper treatment for it. Heel pain is rarely treated surgically
