5 Common Causes Behind Your Heel Pain

Hi, I’m Dr. Bhela. Are you struggling with heel pain? Let’s talk about the five most common causes.

Possible Reasons Behind Heel Pain

  1. Plantar fasciitis: This is the most common cause, involving inflammation of the tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, from the heel to your toes.
  2. Achilles tendonitis: Overuse can lead to pain along the back of your heel.
  3. Heel spurs: These are bony growths that can develop due to repetitive strain, either from Achilles tendon tightness or plantar fasciitis overuse.
  4. Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa can cause discomfort and pain around your heel.
  5. Stress fracture: Small cracks in the heel bone can result from overuse.
