Heel pain is a common complaint, particularly at this time of year when people are wearing less supportive shoes, going barefoot at the beach, and starting a new exercise routine.
The pain is often worst, first thing in the morning, mostly the first steps out of bed, and warms up after a few minutes.
They can feel sore again after sitting for a while through the day.
And the pain is often worse today if you’ve done more exercise yesterday.
There’s usually a precipitating factor like an increase in training load (increased intensity of training – hills / sprints / increased number of sessions), change in shoes, or gain in weight. It’s quite common to see patients who are getting ready for an event, like doing a race or an overseas walking holiday, and have been exercising more in preparation.
Plantar Fascia heel pain is a failure of the tissues that anchor on to the heel bone to cope with the stress of the extra load.
People are generally sore on the inside of the base of the heel. Some also have a sore strip along the arch of the foot. Some feel "tight", bruised", and/or "burning".
The two most important factors for treating heel pain are:
Reducing the load that has been aggravating the pain.
Strengthening up the load bearing capacity of the soft tissues.
Other treatments include:
Reviewing footwear
Gel cups under the heel
Low dye taping
Strassburg Sock
Ibuprofen
Soft tissue techniques on the foot
Dry needling
