Heel
Pain

Dr
Foot Pro Insoles treat the underlying cause of heel pain
Heel pain is generally the result of
a biomechanical abnormality (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; or being overweight.
A common cause of heel pain is the heel
spur, a bony growth on the underside of the heel bone. The spur, visible
by X ray, appears as a protrusion that can extend forward as much as
half an inch. When there is no indication of bone enlargement, the condition
is sometimes referred to as "heel spur syndrome."
The most common cause of heel pain is
plantar fascitis. Many people with plantar fascitis
complain of pain on first rising and after rest. Causes of heel pain
include inadequate flexibility in the calf muscles, lack of arch support,
being overweight, suddenly increasing activity, and spending too much
time on the feet. For those who are not overweight and not on their
feet too much, stretching the calf muscles before walking anywhere in
the morning is often the cure. Ice after activities is also very important.
Arch supports such as insoles treat the underlying cause of
the heel pain and prevent future occurrences of the condition.
