Heel pain refers to discomfort or soreness in the rear part of the foot, encompassing various conditions that affect the heel bone, surrounding tissues, and ligaments. It can manifest as sharp, dull, or aching sensations, often worsened by activity or pressure. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
Heel pain often stems from overuse or injury to the structures supporting the foot. The most common cause is plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot. Other potential causes include stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis, and nerve entrapment in the heel.
