Heel pain is one of the more common and painful foot conditions. At times, it’s also the most challenging to diagnose because many of its causes mimic each other.

Our board-certified podiatrist at Auburn Foot Care Center has been treating patients seeking heel pain relief in Auburn, AL since 2001. He can help you, too.
Common Causes of Heel Pain
The conditions that cause severe pain in the heel are numerous and often accompany one another, so making the correct diagnosis is difficult for all but the most experienced podiatrists. Some common causes include:
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs occur at the point where the ligaments that run along the bottom of your foot connect to your heel bone. When this ligament is repeatedly stressed or strained, it causes your body to form a protective bony growth, commonly known as a heel spur.
Plantar Fasciitis
This condition also deals with injury or stress to the band of ligaments that run along the bottom of your foot. In this case, your ligaments begin to stretch and tear, causing them to become inflamed. This condition can accompany heel spurs and is highly painful.
Bursitis
A soft tissue growth on your heel is known as a bursitis. This growth is often a sac of fluid or a neuroma. This condition is often mistaken for a heel spur.
Bone Bruise
Your heel bone can become bruised if your heel strikes something hard, such as a rock, a child’s toy, or another object.
Rheumatoid Arthritis & Gout
Both rheumatoid arthritis and gout can cause pain in your feet, including the big toe and the heel.
Don’t let severe heel pain stop you from enjoying life. Our podiatrist at Auburn Foot Care Center and his exceptional team are here to help you become pain-free!
