Feet have the important task of bearing our entire weight and keeping us mobile. The heel part of the foot, in particular, endures a lot of impact and stress. Because of this, heel pain is a common occurrence for many people. For some it is just mild pain, but for others, it can be debilitating and affect mobility. Treating heel pain will depend on the cause of the pain, from injuries to genetic disease, and tissue strain.
Here are some common causes of heel pain and ways to prevent and treat them.
Peripheral Neuropathy – Burning pain along the bottom of the foot and heel can also be caused by plantar fasciitis and peripheral neuropathy. At the onset of diabetic neuropathy, you can experience a burning sensation as you lose feeling. At the onset of any burning feeling, or if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, make sure you check your feet and get an assessment with our podiatrist.
Are you concerned with ongoing heel pain that just won’t go away? Contact your local podiatrist at Texas Foot Works. Dr. Jonathan M. Kletz is more than happy to discuss this topic more in detail and find solutions for any problems you may come across.
