Heel And Arch Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
This is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Pain is usually worse in the morning or after long periods of rest
Flat Feet (Pes Planus)
This condition occurs when the arches of the feet collapse, causing the feet to flatten. It can lead to pain in the arches and heels due to the strain placed on the ligaments and muscles of the foot.
Heel Spurs
These are bony growths that develop on the underside of the heel bone. While not always painful, heel spurs often accompany plantar fasciitis and contribute to heel pain
Achilles Tendonitis
Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, can cause pain in the back of the heel and sometimes extend to the arch
Stress Fractures
Small cracks in the heel or foot bones can occur from repetitive stress, such as running or jumping, leading to heel or arch pain.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
This is a condition in which the tibial nerve is compressed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in the heel, arch, and sometimes the toes
