Is Heel Pain Slowing You Down?
Heel pain is a common problem that can affect people of all ages and can make everyday activities such as walking, exercising, or even standing for long periods uncomfortable.
One of the most common causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, but other conditions such as Achilles tendon problems, heel spurs, arthritis, or overuse injuries may also be responsible.
Common symptoms include:
πΉ Pain under or at the back of the heel
πΉ Sharp pain with the first steps in the morning
πΉ Discomfort after prolonged standing or walking
πΉ Pain that worsens after activity
