Heel pain is one of the most common conditions treated by Beenleigh Podiatry Centre. One of the most common causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the plantar fascia - the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot - becomes inflamed. Other common causes of heel pain include heel spurs - small growths of bone that develop on the heel; Achilles tendonitis - inflammation of the Achilles tendon; and stress fractures - tiny cracks in the bone caused by repetitive stress or impact. If you are experiencing heel pain, our team of experienced podiatrists can help to identify the cause and provide effective treatment.

Heel Pain Treatments

Heel pain is a common foot problem that can have several different causes. The most critical factor in determining the best heel pain treatment is identifying the cause of the heel pain. Once the cause is determined, our podiatrists can develop your heel pain treatment plan. Treatment for heel pain can vary greatly depending on individual biomechanics and activities, so it is best to consult our podiatrists. 

Early treatment is crucial to recovery. Your treatment plan may involve shoe recommendations, anti-inflammatory medication, taping or orthotics. Your recovery will depend on the cause of your heel pain and individual health and how well treatment recommendations are followed.
