Some people just assume that heel pain is a part of life, particularly if they are on their feet most of the day. This isn’t the case and you shouldn’t live with the pain that you are feeling. Heel pain can be relieved with the right diagnosis and the correct treatment. Contacting a qualified podiatrist like Elizabeth F. Auger, DPM in West Jordan, Utah can set you on your way to walking comfortably again.
Possible Reasons for Heel Pain
When you have heel pain you will want to contact a professional right away. It could be plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, a nerve irritation, cysts, even tendonitis. Getting it treated as soon as possible is the key to making sure that you are recovering fully. Dr. Auger will look over your feet, check to see how flexible they are and may do an x-ray to try to determine the cause of the pain. Once this has been accomplished, a plan for treatment will be established and you will be on your way to recovery. Dr. Auger might suggest that you use orthotics to give you a more comfortable feeling when you are walking until the problem is resolved.
