HEEL PAIN RELIEF

The level of heel pain can range from general discomfort to inability to walk. Sometimes you will feel the pain when you first step out of bed in the morning (or after long periods of rest). Many times, however, the pain will sneak up on you during the course of your normal daily activities.

Wherever you fall on the pain spectrum, Dr. Mitsos can help! Typically, plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis are the most common causes of bottom of heel and back of heel pain (respectively).

Additional causes of heel pain can include:

• Achilles tendinitis
• Achilles tendon rupture
• Bone tumor
• Bursitis
• Heel spur
• Osteomyelitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Reactive arthritis
• Stress fracture
