Heel Pain
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a foot, ankle, and hand clinic, and usually the most fixable. From the first step of the morning to standing after a long day, we help you find the specific cause and get you moving comfortably again.
Know Your Heel Pain
Common Types of Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp pain under the heel or arch, often worst with your first steps in the morning.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Pain and stiffness at the back of the heel where the Achilles attaches.
Retrocalcaneal Bursitis
Inflammation in the bursa between the heel bone and Achilles tendon.
Nerve-Related Heel Pain
Burning or radiating pain from nerves around the heel, like Baxter's nerve.
Fat Pad Dystrophy
Thinning of the heel's natural shock absorber, common with aging.
Heel Stress Fracture
Aching pain that worsens with activity, from overuse of the heel bone.
Why It's Not Getting Better
We Treat the Cause, Not Just the Spot
Heel pain rarely comes from one thing alone. Foot posture, walking patterns, shoes, nutrition, and loading all play a role. We evaluate biomechanics and lifestyle together so treatment targets why it hurts, not just where.
- Thorough biomechanical and gait assessment
- On-site digital X-ray and orthotics
- Conservative, non-surgical first
- Lifestyle factors that slow healing
The Right Type, The Right Plan
Because each type of heel pain responds to different care, an accurate diagnosis is step one. From there, we build a plan that fits your shoes, your days, and your goals.
