Heel and arch pain is something we may likely experience at some point in time, however ongoing feel and arch pain is something that should be investigated further.
In many cases, heel and arch pain is due to an issue called plantar fasciitis. Other issues it could be attributed to include Heel Spurs, Claw Toes, Morton’s Neuroma, Bunions, Sesamoiditis or Arthritis.
It may also be from a biomechanical issue, for example flat feet, or high arched feet, could be the potential causes of pain.
Ongoing pain in your heel or foot is not normal and should be looked at by a Podiatrist. Gait Way Podiatry can develop a tailored treatment plan to manage your foot and/or heel pain.
