Lots of conditions can cause heel pain, including plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, and Achilles tendinitis. The pain can begin behind or underneath the heel, and it can be severe enough to make walking difficult. For those struggling with pain in the heel, we have treatment options at Mountain View Foot & Ankle in El Monte, California.
This is a common ankle and foot problem that can be a result of conditions like:
You are more likely to experience this kind of pain if you are overweight, spend a lot of time standing, have foot and ankle arthritis, wear shoes that don’t offer the right degree of support, or jump or run a lot during exercise. Getting the correct diagnosis is the best way to offer appropriate treatment, so you want to reach out to experts.
The exact cause of the heel pain will impact the accompanying symptoms you experience. These symptoms may include:
You may also experience bottom-of-foot pain or bottom-of-heel pain when you stand up after sitting or lying down for a while.
Once we get a diagnosis, we can start planning what the best treatment options are. For bursitis or plantar fasciitis that is causing pain, we may recommend steroid injections.
Heel spur treatment can involve surgery if the problem continues. Achilles tendon pain can respond well to orthotic devices, but if you continue to experience the condition or if there is a tear in the tendon that causes pain, surgery may be the best option.
