Heel Pain

Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common condition where putting weight on the heel causes extreme discomfort.

On occasions, heel pain can be caused by over-use repetitive stress from too much impact on a specific area of the foot. Heel pain syndrome can have many causes. Wearing shoes with heels that are too low, a fat pad in the heel area that has thinned, or from a sudden increase in activity are just a few of the possible causes. Another possible cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis.
