Heel pain is increasingly the most common foot problem seen in podiatry. It is an injury that requires a specific treatment plan. Pain in the back of your foot and arch in the morning or after resting during the day are common symptoms that can increase and intensify the longer they go without treatment. Heel fractures can often be the cause of this pain so it is important to get evaluated when you have these types of symptoms. If not serious, stretching, icing, arch supports, and rest can alleviate the issue.
