Heel Pain
Don’t Let Heel Pain Hold You Back
Step into Pain-Free Days with Chris Garside Podiatry
Heel pain, a common ailment, can occur in various areas around the rear of the foot, and the most prevalent cause is Plantar Fasciitis. This condition arises when the Plantar Fascia, a crucial tissue extending from the heel’s midsection to the ball of the foot and toes, undergoes excessive stretching, resulting in irritation at its insertion point in the heel area. Symptoms typically include morning heel pain that diminishes with activity.
