Frequently Asked Questions
What causes heel pain? ▼
The most common causes are plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, and stress fractures. A podiatrist can diagnose the exact cause with a physical exam and imaging, then tailor treatment accordingly.
When should I see a doctor for heel pain? ▼
See a podiatrist if your heel pain has lasted more than a week, is severe enough to limit daily activity, or is accompanied by swelling, redness, or numbness. Early treatment prevents chronic conditions.
Can heel pain go away on its own? ▼
Mild cases sometimes resolve with rest, ice, and over-the-counter insoles. But persistent heel pain — lasting more than 2–3 weeks — almost always requires professional evaluation to prevent it from becoming a long-term problem.
