A heel spur is a bony growth that develops on the heel bone, often where the plantar fascia attaches. Although heel spurs are commonly associated with heel pain, the spur itself is not always the source of discomfort.

At Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists, we evaluate heel pain to determine its actual cause and which treatment may provide relief: https://tinyurl.com/2f8hncs3

It's National I Love My Feet Day, and we're asking the hard questions. Questions like: "Are you incredibly ticklish on the bottom of your feet?" Blame biology!

Your child finishes soccer practice complaining that the back of the heel hurts. The pain improves with rest, then returns after the next game or practice. In active, growing children, this pattern may point to Sever’s disease, one of the most common causes of pediatric heel pain.

The podiatrists at Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists explain what parents should know about this overuse condition: https://tinyurl.com/cwka6h3u

Have you noticed that your toes are suddenly smooth, shiny, and completely missing their hair? Or perhaps you haven't had to trim your toenails in months?

It sounds like a strange quirk of aging, but the sudden loss of toe hair, shiny skin, and brittle, slow-growing nails are actually credible clinical signs of a much larger issue. Catching the signs early could be critical for your cardiovascular health.

Are you ignoring the warning signs of tendonitis? Let's check:

⚠️ Did you recently double your running mileage or jump into high-intensity plyometrics?
⚠️ Do you have short calf muscles (you can't flex your foot upward very far)?
⚠️ Do you feel a dull ache for the first 5 minutes of a run that magically disappears when you warm up, only to return an hour after you sit down?

If squeezing the tendon 2 inches above your heel hurts a lot, or you feel a crunchy, creaking sensation when moving up or down... It's time to come see us!

Don't risk a rupture and the surgery that requires. Check out our blog for more details: https://mytucsonpodiatrist.com/2025/12/16/how-to-spot-the-signs-of-achilles-tendonitis/

When people think about poor posture, they usually picture neck pain, backaches, or sore shoulders. But did you know your posture can also affect your feet? The way you stand, walk, and distribute your weight influences every joint from your hips to your toes. Over time, poor posture can place extra stress on your feet, increasing your risk of pain and injury.

At Desert Podiatric Medical Specialists, we help patients throughout Tucson and Oro Valley identify the underlying causes of foot pain. Sometimes, the problem isn't just in the feet; it's how the entire body is aligned: https://tinyurl.com/433u85d6
