Heel Pain

Why do so many people have heel pain and where does it come from?
Answer: Did you know that the research does not support one single answer for heel pain? Everyday I see more and more patients in the office with heel pain. But what is important to understand about heel pain is that many different ailments can be the real problem. It is always best to avoid the running stores as an initial starting point for your foot pain. Why? Well, they can not make an accurate diagnosis and often will just sell you something for the sake of selling. They do not have the x-ray capabilities. Lastly, they are not professionals. So before you think you have plantar fasciitis have a professional give you an accurate diagnosis. It then allows me to tailor a specific treatment plan for you. It may involve numerous different methods of treatment but not everyone can be treated the same.
