Most often Heel Pain is caused by an acute inflammation at the attachment of the Plantar Fascia, the structure responsible for maintaining the arch of the foot. The Plantar Fascia is a fibrous fan-shaped structure on the bottom of the foot that attaches from the heel bone and fans forward toward the toes. This condition is called Plantar Fasciitis. The cause of Plantar Fasciitis is instability within the foot. This leads to tearing of the Plantar Fascia away from the heel bone. Common complaints include pain under the heel when standing or walking, especially upon getting up in the morning. Often, Plantar Fasciitis is misdiagnosed as a 'Heel Spur'. The most common treatment for Heel Pain is Custom Made Foot Orthotics.

A heel spur is bony protrusion, often caused by Plantar Fasciitis, located on the bottom of the heel . Often people are misled to believe that the source of their heel pain is the heel spur. In fact, it is the Plantar Fascia attached to the heel that often becomes inflamed and causes the pain. A heel spur alone, in the absence of Plantar Fasciitis will not cause pain. Many people have heel spurs and lead pain free lives.
