Understanding Pain on the Side of Your Heel

If you are experiencing pain on the side of your heel, you are not alone. This discomfort can be caused by various factors, including improper footwear, overuse, or certain medical conditions. At The Foot Practice, we specialize in addressing such issues with precision and care.

Common Causes of Heel Pain

Heel pain can be a debilitating condition that affects your daily life. Some common causes of heel pain include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, and stress fractures. Our team of dedicated podiatrists is well-equipped to diagnose and treat these conditions effectively.

Plantar Fasciitis

One of the most prevalent causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. This condition often results in a sharp, stabbing pain on the bottom of the foot near the heel.

Achilles Tendinitis

Another common culprit of heel pain is Achilles tendinitis, which occurs when the Achilles tendon becomes inflamed due to overuse or injury. This condition can manifest as pain at the back of the heel or up the back of the lower leg.

Effective Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options to alleviate heel pain and restore your mobility. From custom orthotics and physical therapy to minimally invasive procedures, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs.

Preventive Techniques for Heel Pain

Prevention is key when it comes to heel pain management. To reduce your risk of experiencing discomfort in the future, consider wearing supportive footwear, incorporating stretching exercises into your routine, and maintaining a healthy weight.
