Heel pain can result from several conditions including nerve entrapment, fracture, growing pains, Achilles tendonitis, and bursitis. However, the most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. At Alpine Foot Specialists, we help patients throughout Lake Zurich and the surrounding suburbs find lasting relief from heel pain so they can walk, work, and stay active comfortably.
Your foot has a thick band of tissue called the plantar fascia that connects the heel bone to the toes. When this tissue becomes irritated or inflamed, it creates a sharp or stabbing heel pain, often most noticeable with your first steps in the morning. Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain in adults.
During your visit to our Lake Zurich clinic, our podiatrists will examine your feet and may take X-rays to identify the exact cause of your heel pain. In some cases, an MRI may be recommended for more detailed imaging of the foot and ankle.
Conservative treatment options may include:
If conservative methods are not successful or are not appropriate for your specific condition, our podiatrists will discuss surgical options.
