Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common foot condition that causes discomfort or soreness in the heel area. It can result from excessive strain, inflammation, or underlying medical conditions affecting the bones, ligaments, or tendons.


Common Causes of Heel Pain:
  • Plantar Fasciitis – Inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament connecting the heel to the toes.
  • Heel Spurs – Calcium deposits that form on the heel bone, causing pain and discomfort.
  • Achilles Tendinitis – Irritation or inflammation of the Achilles tendon.
  • Excessive Strain – Overuse from prolonged standing, walking, or running.
  • Improper Footwear – Wearing unsupportive shoes can lead to heel pain.
Symptoms of Heel Pain:
  • Sharp or stabbing pain in the heel, especially in the morning.
  • Swelling, redness, or tenderness in the affected area.
  • Difficulty in walking or standing for long periods.
  • Pain that worsens after activity but improves with rest.
Effective Treatment Options:
  • Rest & Ice Therapy – Reduces inflammation and pain.
  • Stretching & Exercises – Strengthens foot muscles and relieves tension.
  • Orthotic Supports – Custom insoles to improve foot alignment and reduce pressure.
  • Medications – Anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief.
  • Physical Therapy – Helps improve mobility and strength.
  • Ozone Therapy & Injections – Reduces inflammation and enhances healing.
  • Shockwave Therapy – Stimulates tissue repair and reduces pain.
Prevention Tips:
  • Wear well-cushioned, supportive shoes.
  • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the heels.
  • Perform regular stretching exercises for the feet and calves.
  • Avoid prolonged standing or excessive strain on the feet.
  • Use proper footwear for sports or physical activities.

If heel pain persists, consult a specialist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
