Heel pain is generally caused by overuse of the foot, more likely than by a traumatic injury. So if you wake up one day feeling heel pain, do not be surprised if you cannot identify any reason for this pain. Heel pain can also be caused by a heel spur, by plantar fasciitis, or even by both. Our doctor will be able to x-ray your foot to see if there is indeed a heel spur. At our practice, patients will first be offered conservative treatment, if it is deemed a good way to go. These treatments may include cortisone, night splints, or use of prescription orthotics. If heel pain is not responding well to these types of treatments, then endoscopic surgery may be offered as a good option. Heel pain can be caused by many different situations, including consistently wearing shoes that provide poor support, running on hard surfaces, a sudden turning of your heel, or landing awkwardly on your heel. If a patient is overweight, this too can contribute to heel pain. Your foot has connective tissue that goes from your toes to your heel bone. This can cause heel pain which is also known as heel spur syndrome. Ice packs, stretching exercises, and physical therapy may also be helpful in treating heel pain. For an appointment to see our
foot doctor in Temecula so that you can have an accurate diagnosis and get the exact treatment required for your heel pain, contact us today.
