Heel pain is a common reason people seek podiatry advice. However, heel pain is a symptom rather than a specific diagnosis.
Pain around the heel can originate from several different structures, including the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, heel bone, nerves, joints and surrounding soft tissues.
Identifying the underlying cause of your heel pain is therefore an important first step.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms. Depending on your individual assessment, this may include rehabilitation, activity modification, footwear advice, biomechanical management, orthotic therapy and other appropriate interventions.
The aim is to understand why your heel is painful, rather than simply treating the painful area.
