Heel Pain - Dr. James Hurst - Centreville Foot & Ankle & Sports Medicine

Heel pain is a common problem, and it can develop from many causes. Whatever the source of your heel pain, your podiatrist can help you get relief.

What Causes Heel Pain?

There are several factors that can cause heel pain, including walking on hard objects, which can bruise your heel, or developing excess calcium deposits on your heel, which can cause a heel spur. Overuse and stress from running, jogging, or walking on hard floors can lead to a painful condition known as plantar fasciitis.

There are also several medical conditions that can lead to heel pain including Achilles tendonitis or rupture of the Achilles tendon, bursitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes, and stress fractures.
