The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, which is also called heel spur syndrome. Heel pain also encompasses numerous other ailments of the foot, including nerve irritation, arthritis, tendonitis, stress fracture, and in rare cases, cysts. Because there are so many reasons for heel pain, it is always best to get the foot looked at by a medical professional. A podiatrist, orthopedic or foot and ankle surgeon is your best bet for a proper diagnosis, as they specialize in problems involving the foot. Some heel pain may get better on its own, but may worsen if people ignore the pain and continue to perform activities that injured it in the first place. If this happens, heel pain will continue to get worse, become a chronic condition that will deteriorate over time. Even so, surgery is hardly ever necessary in these scenarios.
What are the symptoms of Heel Pain?
As the name implies, the primary symptoms of heel pain are, by and large, soreness and discomfort in the foot, and in particular the heel region. The onset of pain is usually preceded by an activity that caused irritation or injury to the heel or foot. The pain may not be immediately noteworthy, but it can progress causing extreme soreness and discomfort. Heel pain is most often exacerbated shortly after getting out of bed, primarily because sudden pressure on the foot may aggravate it after it had been immobilized during the night. Heel pain can go away during the day, but frequent, consistent pain shouldn’t be ignored and may require a thorough examination by a physician.

What causes Heel Pain?

When plantar fascitis, or a heel spur causes heel pain, it will most definitely require attention. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue, which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, from the heel to the toes. Plantar fascitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which can be extremely painful. A doctor can prescribe treatments that will aid in easing discomfort and perhaps help you avoid situations that would aggravate or bring on plantar fascitis. Heavy loads on the foot, like intense weight gain due to obesity or pregnancy, can also contribute to heel pain. Certain activities, like sports that require a lot of walking or running, can prompt heel pain too, as can various types of arthritis.
