Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Hamilton

Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems we treat at Feet Forward Podiatry. Whether it's a sharp stab first thing in the morning, a dull ache after a long day, or discomfort that shows up during exercise, heel pain has a habit of shrinking what you're willing to do.

The most common cause is plantar fasciitis, an irritation of the thick band of tissue running along the sole of your foot from heel to toes. It is what causes that classic first-step-out-of-bed pain. Heel spurs, Achilles tendinopathy and general inflammation can also be to blame, which is why getting the diagnosis right matters more than reaching for a generic insole.
