Common Causes of Heel Pain and How to Treat Them

Heel pain can come on after an injury, or become worse over a period of time due to a chronic problem. At Potomac Podiatry Group, with offices in Woodbridge, Chantilly, and Sterling, VA, and White Plains, or Crofton, MD, our team of podiatrists is ready to talk to you about your heel pain treatment. The first step is to determine what is causing your heel pain, and come up with a treatment plan to manage your symptoms. If you are having trouble with mobility because of heel pain, it's time to get some answers with the help of a podiatrist.

Causes of Heel Pain

Injuries to the plantar fascia at the bottom of your feet can result in heel pain, and plantar fasciitis is one of the most common reasons for experiencing heel pain. It is possible to have bone spurs that are contributing to the heel pain, or an injury to tendons and ligaments causing the heel pain. A podiatrist will look over the structure of your feet, assess how you walk, and order imaging if necessary to determine what is causing your heel pain. If you have heel pain that doesn't resolve with rest, ice and over-the-counter medication, it's important to see a podiatrist for an in-depth assessment.

Treating Heel Pain

Once the cause of your heel pain is uncovered, a treatment plan to address what is going on can be created. Treatment may include rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling. Gentle stretches can ease heel pain, while wearing supportive shoes throughout the day can have a positive impact. If simple measures don't improve your heel pain, treatment can consist of custom orthotics for optimal foot support while wearing shoes, night braces while you are sleeping, corticosteroid injections, or physical therapy to address the structure and strength of your feet.
