Many people develop heel pain at some point in their lives, whether on the underside or back of the heel. In most cases, heel pain is not a symptom of a serious underlying health condition. However, it can affect a person\u2019s quality of life, including the ability to stand, walk or exercise without discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you know\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>many conditions that cause heel pain can be avoided by wearing properly fitted shoes? Many people wear the wrong types and sizes of shoes, resulting in crowding and poor foot support. To get the right fit, shop at the end of the day rather than in the morning, and always try on shoes before buying to ensure you have plenty of toe room. Avoid high heels when possible, and look for shoes with an adjustable fit.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What types of conditions can cause heel pain?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Heel pain can be caused by many different conditions, some more common than others.

You should also <a href=\"https:\/\/coronafootandankle.com\/contact-us\/\">contact<\/a> your doctor about heel pain that continues when you are not standing or pain that is severe and occurs with swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What types of treatments are available for people with heel pain?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Your podiatrist will examine your foot and may use diagnostic imaging to determine the cause of your heel pain.
