Silverton New Jersey foot pain, including heel pain.
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons that patients come to see our foot doctor. When a patient has a heel spur, it is generally related to inflammation that is found along the bottom of the foot. Heel pain is not often treated with foot surgery. Sometimes our doctor can prescribe customized orthotics to help with heel pain. Heel pain is very commonly found in athletes who spend a lot of time running or jumping on hard surfaces. It can also be caused by faulty biomechanics, which refers to a walking gait abnormality. When this is the cause, too much stress is placed on the heel bone and on the soft tissues that are attached to it. Being overweight can also contribute to heel pain. When a patient has plantar fasciitis, there is an inflammation of the band of connective tissues that runs along the bottom of the foot, and reaches from the heel to the ball of the foot. This is a painful condition which can be commonly found in athletes. If you wear shoes that do not provide you with appropriate support, this can make the inflammation and heel pain worse. Sometimes a person will experience foot pain when they first get up in the morning or after sitting for a long while. Heel pain can also be the result of excessive pronation. Our foot doctor will determine the exact cause of your
Silverton New Jersey foot pain, and let you know which type of treatment should work best for you.
