Understanding Heel Pain When Running

Heel pain when running is a common complaint among athletes and recreational enthusiasts alike. It can hinder your performance and limit your ability to engage in physical activities that you enjoy. The main cause of heel pain during running is typically plantar fasciitis, which is the inflammation of the band of tissues that connects your heel bone to your toes. This condition can be caused by various factors, including improper footwear, overuse, and biomechanical issues.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

At The Foot Practice, we prioritize accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to address your specific heel pain concerns. Our expert podiatrists will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history, perform a comprehensive physical examination, and utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to determine the root cause of your pain.

Tailored Treatment Options

Once our podiatrists have identified the underlying cause of your heel pain, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and promote long-term healing. Our clinic offers a wide range of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments to suit your individual needs. Some of the common treatment options for heel pain when running include:

• Orthotic Devices: Custom-made orthotic devices can provide additional support and cushioning to help alleviate pain and correct any biomechanical issues that may contribute to your condition.
• Physical Therapy: Targeted stretching and strengthening exercises can help improve flexibility and muscle balance, reducing the strain on your plantar fascia and promoting healing.
• Shockwave Therapy: This non-invasive treatment option uses high-energy shockwaves to stimulate the body's natural healing process, effectively reducing pain and inflammation.
• Medication: Our podiatrists may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to manage your symptoms and facilitate healing.
• Surgery: In rare cases where conservative treatments fail to provide relief, our podiatrists can discuss surgical options to address the underlying issue causing your heel pain.

Prevention and Future Care

While treating your current heel pain is our priority, we also emphasize the importance of prevention and long-term foot care. Our podiatry experts will educate you on proper footwear selection, running techniques, and stretching exercises to reduce the risk of future heel pain episodes. We believe in empowering individuals to take control of their foot health and lead an active, pain-free lifestyle.
