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.

Injuries to the foot can be quite common and painful. As with many injuries, it is important to first isolate the problem to determine the best mode of treatment. If you have a new injury to your foot or lingering pain from an old injury, contact an experienced podiatric specialist to begin the healing process. Your chiropodist will discuss with you how the injury occurred and work with the affected area to determine the exact location of the injury and get an understanding of your range of motion. An x-ray may be used to determine if the bone has been fractured or broken.
Treatments for foot injuries are as varied as the injuries themselves. Once your chiropodist has determined if you are suffering from a strain or sprain, break or fracture you will receive the highest level of care to get you on your feet again. Whether you need a cast or brace or just a regimen of heat, ice or stretching, you will leave our offices knowing that you are on your way to feeling better. Contact us today to have an experienced professional examine your foot injury and prescribe a treatment method that will give you the best results possible.
