Why do I have heel pain?
Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints affecting adults of all ages. It can start as a mild discomfort in the morning and gradually become a sharp, stabbing pain that makes walking difficult. The most common causes of heel pain include Plantar Fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendon irritation, stress injuries, or prolonged standing on hard surfaces. Athletes, healthcare workers, teachers, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet are especially at risk.
