Don't Ignore Your Heel Pain

How your podiatrists in McKinney, and Prosper, TX, can help when you suffer from heel pain

If you are experiencing heel pain, it’s tempting to ignore it until it goes away. Unfortunately, heel pain can stick with you, affecting your ability to stay active and enjoy your life. Your podiatrist can help you get relief from heel pain, so you and your feet can feel better.

The podiatrists at Advanced Foot & Ankle Center offer a wide range of foot and ankle services, including treatments for heel pain. They have two convenient office locations in McKinney, and Prosper, TX, to help you get relief from heel pain.

Heel pain can be caused by a wide variety of factors. Some types of heel pain can be treated at home, including:

Heel pain due to dry, cracked skin–you need to apply thick, creamy moisturizer every day, especially in summer, when your feet are more exposed.

Heel bruises due to stepping on hard, sharp objects–you need to apply ice to your heel every day to reduce swelling.

There are other causes of heel pain which often require professional treatment from your podiatrist, including:

Heel spurs due to muscle and ligament strain or excess calcium deposits. Your podiatrist may perform imaging studies to determine the level of bone involvement. Your podiatrist may also recommend extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) to break up deposits.

Plantar fasciitis, caused by inflammation of the thick band of tissue on your heel. Your podiatrist may recommend several treatments for this common, painful condition, including:

  • Custom orthotics, walking casts, or night splints
  • Cortisone injections into your heel
  • Physical therapy and arch stretches
  • Taping or cushioning your arches and heels
