What Is Heel Pain?
Heel pain refers to discomfort originating from the heel bone or surrounding tissues, encompassing various conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and heel spurs. It can also arise from bursitis or flat feet, which place abnormal stress on the heel. This condition often results from repetitive strain or mechanical overload on the foot structures.

Main Causes of Heel Pain
Heel pain often stems from biomechanical imbalances, overuse, or trauma. Common culprits include excessive strain on the plantar fascia (plantar fasciitis), inflammation of the Achilles tendon (Achilles tendinitis), or the development of heel spurs. Factors like improper footwear, prolonged standing, obesity, and certain athletic activities can exacerbate these conditions, leading to persistent discomfort.
