Heel pain is pain in the heel area that can vary in severity and location. It is most common in adults.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”mb-5″][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”no-padding”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”446″ img_size=”full” alignment=”centre” el_class=”no-padding” css=”.vc_custom_1592336019913{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”yellow-gradient”][vc_column_text el_class=”px-5 pt-5 pb-3″]The heel is the first bone to contact the ground when walking and takes the full force of impact and the resulting shock of bearing weight during motion, resulting sometimes in sore heel pain. General heel pain tends to dissipate overnight and can reappear or worsen during prolonged periods of walking or standing.<\/p>\r\n

The pain is commonly intense when getting out of bed or a chair but often lessens when walking \u2013 although that is more common in the case of\u00a0Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=”what-causes-it” el_class=”mt-4″][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”What Causes Heel Pain?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_column_text]\r\n

One common cause of heel pain is\u00a0plantar fasciitis<\/a>. Plantar fasciitis involves stretching of the plantar fascia, a ligament that runs from the ball of foot through the arch and is attached to the heel which becomes aggravated and causes pain in your heel. One way to tell if your heel pain is plantar fasciitis is whether the pain is more acute first thing in the morning and then fades.<\/p>\r\n

Heel spurs<\/a>, which are abnormal bone growths coming off the heel, can also cause heel pain. Other causes include repetitive stress or shock to the heel, standing for prolonged periods and osteoarthritis.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row content_placement=”top”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Shop Products for Heel Pain” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZHVjdHNfc2xpZGVyJTIwY2F0cyUzRCUyMjE3OCUyMiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNEJTIyZmFsc2UlMjIlMjBvcmRlcmJ5JTNEJTIybWVudV9vcmRlciUyMiU1RA==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”mt-5″ el_id=”what-can-i-do”][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”DON’T LET ARCH PAIN SLOW YOU DOWN” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”text-uppercase”][vc_column_text]\r\n
