Heel pain can be an incredibly frustrating condition. Pain in the heel can dramatically reduce your ability to walk and function. Simple tasks like keeping up with the kids can get harder. Standing on your feet at work, going for a walk and exercising can be near impossible.
Heel pain can really affect your quality of life and really get you down.
Pain in the heel is usually there getting out of bed in the morning. Being on your feet for long hours at work or at home can make it worse. You may also experience pain after sitting down for a while and then standing again.
Heel pain has many causes. Heel pain is generally the result of faulty biomechanics (walking gait abnormalities) that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. The stress may also result from injury, or a bruise incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces; wearing poorly constructed footwear (such as flimsy flip-flops); or being overweight.
