The most common cause of heel pain continues to be plantar fasciitis. This is usually caused by a foot structure that puts too much pressure on the fascia or tight muscle groups. The majority of plantar fasciitis will go away with physician care and patients will return to normal activities. However, there are a few patients that their heel pain does not get better and need additional treatment.
If you are one of these patients it is important to see a physician that specializes in heel pain. There can be a few diagnoses that need to be considered for anyone that has recalcitrant heel pain. These can range from nerve to bone issues and a careful work up is warranted. Our practice has been home to the Washington Heel Pain Center for years. We were actually the first heel pain center in Washington State and then saw many other offices try to follow suit. However, our physician group finds heel pain fascinating and we diligently scour the latest research to remain up to date on causes and treatment options.
If you suffer from heel pain and have seen other doctors we can help. Or maybe heel pain is new for you and you want the best care we can help. We provide the best care and have the quickest options to get you back exercising or keep you exercising. Make an appointment today and we can help.
