Understanding Heel Pain

Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems, often caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament

What Causes Heel Pain?

Heel pain typically develops when excessive stress is placed on the plantar fascia - the thick band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes. This stress causes inflammation, micro-tears, and pain in the heel and arch area.

  • Plantar Fasciitis - Inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament, the most common cause of heel pain
  • Heel Spurs - Bony growths that develop on the heel bone due to chronic plantar fascia tension
  • Overuse & Strain - Sudden increase in physical activity, prolonged standing, or improper footwear
  • Biomechanical Issues - Flat feet, high arches, or abnormal walking patterns that stress the heel
  • Achilles Tendinitis - Inflammation of the Achilles tendon where it attaches to the heel bone

Most heel pain responds well to conservative chiropractic care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes.

Recognizing Heel Pain Symptoms

Heel pain symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain

Preventing Heel Pain Recurrence

Lifestyle modifications and proper foot care to protect your heels long-term

Proper Footwear

Wear supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning. Avoid flat shoes and high heels for extended periods.

Gradual Activity Increase

Slowly increase exercise intensity and duration. Avoid sudden changes in activity level that stress the plantar fascia.

Weight Management

Maintain healthy weight to reduce pressure on heels. Every extra pound adds significant stress to plantar fascia.

Night Splints

Use night splints to keep plantar fascia stretched during sleep, preventing morning pain and stiffness.

Ice Therapy

Apply ice to heels after activity to reduce inflammation. Roll frozen water bottle under foot for combined ice and massage.

Regular Stretching

Perform calf and plantar fascia stretches daily, especially before getting out of bed and after prolonged sitting.
