Heel pain is a common issue that can affect your daily life, making walking or standing painful. At Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians, we specialize in diagnosing and treating various causes of heel pain, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and heel spurs. If left untreated, heel pain can worsen over time, leading to more significant issues. Understanding the potential causes and seeking professional care is the first step to getting relief.

One of the most common causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the band of tissue along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. This condition is often caused by overuse, improper footwear, or standing for long periods. Other potential causes include Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, or even stress fractures. Identifying the root cause of your pain is essential for effective treatment, which is why an evaluation by our podiatrists is critical.

While mild heel pain may improve with rest, ice, and supportive shoes, more persistent pain requires professional treatment. At Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians, we offer a range of treatment options, including custom orthotics, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgical intervention. Attempting to self-treat heel pain without knowing the underlying cause can lead to further injury and prolonged discomfort.

If you’re dealing with ongoing heel pain, it’s important to consult with a podiatrist who can create a tailored treatment plan for you. Our experienced team at Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians will assess your condition and provide the best solutions to relieve your pain and prevent future issues. We specialize in custom orthotics and other advanced treatments to help you get back on your feet.
