Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis is a condition that usually comes about from overuse. If you suddenly increased the intensity or duration of a workout, or if you’ve changed up your running terrain for something significantly more challenging, then you put yourself at risk for developing this inflammatory condition. 


Those dealing with severe heel pain and swelling, those who have to change their routines around to accommodate their heel pain, and those who haven’t found any relief from at-home care would do well to visit our foot doctor to find out more effective ways to eliminate your pain. 


Even though plantar fasciitis can certainly be the cause of your heel pain there could be another reason for your discomfort, which is why a professional diagnosis might be necessary if you are finding yourself dealing with this issue for several months without any relief.
