Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a podiatrist
Causes of Heel Pain
Heel pain can develop if you have plantar fasciitis, a condition caused by overpronation, or rolling your feet when you walk. Heel pain can also develop from excess hard deposits in your heel, causing a heel spur, or from stepping on sharp objects, causing a heel bruise.
Risk Factors for Developing Heel Pain
You are at greater risk of developing heel pain if you are overweight or if you stand and walk on hard surfaces for long periods of time.
How Our Podiatrist Can Help with Heel Pain
Depending on the cause of your heel pain, a podiatrist may recommend:
- Rest and Ice
- Stretching Exercises
- Custom Orthotics or Footwear
- Night Splints
- Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)
Shockwave Therapy can be used to:
Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that has been proven to accelerate healing in soft tissue tendinopathies. This cutting-edge technology enhances blood circulation and stimulates the gradual regeneration of damaged tissue.

Patient Review
The clinic is in a great location. Not hard to locate. The office looks so elegant with different decorative decor. Dr. Latifi is so pleasant. She listened carefully to my concerns. She immediately knew that I wasn't suffering with neuropathy before examining me. I'm looking forward to continuing to be under her care. Her Assistant was also so pleasant! I'm very pleased!
