Treatment Options for Heel Pain
After an evaluation of your symptoms, your podiatrist will be able to identify the true cause of your heel pain and determine the best treatment plan for you. A digital X-ray or diagnostic ultrasound may be necessary to evaluate your foot structure and the severity of the injury. Occasionally an MRI will be required. A thorough evaluation of the way you walk (gait analysis) is often an important part of your visit.
Most patients with heel pain respond very well to conservative (non-surgical) heel pain treatment options. These options depend on the cause of your heel pain. If your pain persists after these measures have been tried, advanced treatments and surgical interventions are available. Most podiatrists offer a variety of extremely effective alternatives to surgery.
Whatever the cause of your heel pain, most podiatrists have a 90-95% success rate in treating patients just like you.
Imagine getting back to your normal activities or the exercise activities you enjoy the most without pain! Whether your discomfort is caused by
