Heel Pain FAQs
What can cause heel pain?
Heel pain can have several causes, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon problems, or injury. The location and pattern of pain can offer clues, but an evaluation is needed to assess the cause.
When should I see a podiatrist for heel pain?
Consider an evaluation if heel pain persists, limits walking or daily activities, keeps returning, or follows an injury. Seek prompt medical care for severe pain or difficulty bearing weight.
How is heel pain evaluated?
A podiatrist may ask when the pain began, what makes it better or worse, and how it affects activity. The visit may include examining your foot and ankle and considering whether further testing is appropriate.
What treatments may help heel pain?
Treatment depends on the cause and your symptoms. A care plan may involve activity adjustments, footwear guidance, stretching, or other options recommended after an evaluation.
Can I keep exercising with heel pain?
That depends on the source and severity of the pain. Continuing an activity that worsens symptoms may not be appropriate. Ask a clinician for guidance based on your evaluation and usual exercise.
