heel pain

Heel pain is discomfort in the back or bottom of the heel, often caused by strain, overuse, or injury. Common causes include plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the tissue connecting your heel to toes), Achilles tendinitis (tightening or inflammation of the Achilles tendon), or heel spurs (bone growths). It can result from repetitive activities, improper footwear, or sudden injury. Symptoms typically include a sharp or dull ache, especially with walking or standing. Rest, stretching, proper footwear, and sometimes medical treatment can help alleviate heel pain. If persistent, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and tailored care.
