Treating heel pain in Dutch Village California

Foot pain Dutch Village California

Heel pain can make walking or even standing very difficult. At Temecula Valley Podiatry, it is our goal to provide relief. Always turn to our podiatrist as your specialist for any condition related to foot pain in Dutch Village California.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common reason for heel pain. It occurs because the tissue connecting your toes to your heel bone becomes strained. Small tears can form, and there may be significant swelling, irritation, or inflammation. Sometimes, this condition is associated with being older, but age is not really related to your chances of getting foot pain in Dutch Village California. Actual risk factors do exist, though, and among them are spending a lot of time on your feet, having flat feet or high arches, being overweight, feet that roll inward when you walk, and shoes that do not fit you properly. Heel spurs may also be responsible. You may have both spurs and plantar fasciitis, as they are often linked. Diabetes creates a greater risk for heel spurs, along with the same concerns regarding plantar fasciitis. We understand that It is certainly frustrating when you have foot pain in Dutch Village California, and so you should avail yourself of the services provided by our podiatrist. You will have your foot examined thoroughly and it likely that x-rays will also be ordered. This will allow for an accurate diagnosis as to what is causing the problem so that the most effective treatment can be identified and implemented. Some of the options that may be recommended are orthotics (shoe inserts), more comfortable and supportive footwear, physical therapy, stretching exercises, and even surgery, though only as a last resort.
