Heel pain, also known as plantar fasciitis, is a common condition characterized by sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially noticeable with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity. This pain usually results from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. The primary cause of heel pain is often overuse or excessive strain on the plantar fascia, which can be due to activities that involve a lot of walking, running, or standing, especially on hard surfaces. Other contributing factors include improper footwear, obesity, and abnormal foot mechanics such as flat feet or high arches. Treatment for heel pain typically involves a combination of self-care measures and medical interventions. Initial management includes rest, ice application, and over-the-counter pain relievers to reduce inflammation and pain. Stretching exercises for the calf muscles and plantar fascia can provide relief and prevent recurrence. Wearing supportive footwear with good arch support or custom orthotics can also help alleviate symptoms. In more persistent cases, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or, rarely, surgery may be considered. Adopting preventive strategies, such as maintaining a healthy weight and using proper footwear, can significantly reduce the risk of developing heel pain.
