They absorb tons of pressure and stress every time you take a step, run or jump. Over time, the constant pounding on hard surfaces can take a toll on your heels—damaging tissue and making it uncomfortable to walk or be active. If you suffer from heel pain, Dallas and Richardson podiatrists with Metroplex Foot and Ankle can get you back on your feet again. While there are many heel pain causes, our physicians will pinpoint the precise cause of yours. Most pain occurs beneath the heel or behind the heel.
Beneath the heel pain causes are often related to:
BRUISING – an injury to the fat pad located on the underside of your heel that can happen when you step on a stone or other hard object.
HEEL SPUR – a calcium deposit that forms on the fascia tissue connecting to the heel bone when plantar fasciitis is left untreated or goes on too long.
FRACTURE – a broken heel bone caused by landing too hard on the heel during a fall or other trauma.
INFLAMED ACHILLES TENDON –over time, running or wearing shoes that cut into the back of the heel can cause the skin on the back of the heel to thicken and swell. A swollen and painful bump may develop—making it too uncomfortable to wear normal shoes.
