Heel pain can come on very suddenly.  I remember when I first had heel pain and could hardly get out of bed.  That first step in the morning was brutal.  It would take hours for my heel to calm down.  Then every time I sat down and got back up it would start.  It was a terrible cycle that felt like it would never stop.  Well, this really helped me to understand how patients were feeling.  It also helped me come up with a treatment protocol that speeded recovery and permanently get rid of heel pain. 

Most of all heel pain is plantar fasciitis.  The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous tissue that is the main supporting structure of the foot.  It helps with all phases of gait.  It is chronically under load and tension and is the workhorse of the foot.  This is why it can be so common to have heel pain.  It is believed that something like 60% of all adults will experience heel pain at some point in their lives. 

The treatment protocol I developed took me years to perfect and 1000s of patients.  All heel pain is not the same just as all foot structures are not the same.  If you are suffering from heel pain, I can help.  I have seen how painful and debilitating it can be.  Make an appointment at 425-391-8666 or contact us online.
