Heel Pain

Heel pain, a very common ailment, can become extremely painful if not properly treated and cared for. Overusing or injuring the heel may cause heel pain. Without care, the affected area could worsen, limiting mobility and making everyday activities like walking difficult. Heel pain has many potential causes, including strains, sprains, tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and heel bursitis. One frequent cause in children and teens is Sever’s disease, which can develop from overuse or repetitive stress on the heel bone’s growth plates, often seen in youth athletes.
