Treating Your Heel Pain
Heel pain can be caused by various issues like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. It’s important to talk to your podiatrist in Williamsville and Lockport, NY, to find relief from heel pain. Once you’re able to find relief from your pain, you’ll be able to start walking comfortably again and engaging in your favorite activities.
Typically, your podiatrist will start with conservative methods to help treat your heel pain. This can include icing the heel and making sure to rest often. Overexerting the foot can cause complications and can exacerbate your pain. You may also want to take over the counter pain medications.
Our podiatrist will also recommend wearing night splints to help stretch your foot and prevent any pain in the morning. You also need to wear properly fitting shoes that support your feet. It could help to add orthotics to your shoes so that you can get support in all of the right places.
In severe cases, surgery may be needed in order to correct whatever issue is causing you pain.
