What is Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis?

Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems Dr. Rudin treats, and plantar fasciitis is by far the leading cause. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed or irritated. This tissue acts like a bowstring, supporting the arch of your foot and absorbing shock when you walk.

 

The classic sign of plantar fasciitis is sharp, stabbing pain in the bottom of your heel, especially with your first steps in the morning or after sitting for long periods. The pain often improves as you move around, but it can return after long periods of standing or when you get up after sitting. Many patients describe it as feeling like they're stepping on a nail or sharp stone.

 

While plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, other conditions can also cause discomfort including heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, or stress fractures. Dr. Rudin will examine your foot thoroughly to determine the exact cause of your heel pain and create the right treatment plan for your specific situation.

Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp, stabbing pain in the bottom of the heel
  • Pain that's worst with first steps in the morning
  • Pain after long periods of standing or sitting
  • Aching or burning sensation along the arch

When to see a podiatrist:

  • Heel pain interferes with daily activities or exercise
  • Pain persists for more than a few days despite rest
  • Pain is severe or getting progressively worse
  • You experience numbness or tingling along with heel pain

Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Options

Dr. Rudin specializes in conservative, non-surgical treatments for heel pain and plantar fasciitis:

In-Office Treatment

Dr. Rudin performs a thorough examination to pinpoint the exact cause of your heel pain, which may include x-rays to rule out heel spurs or stress fractures. He provides professional stretching techniques and may apply supportive taping to reduce strain on the plantar fascia. For immediate pain relief, he offers anti-inflammatory treatments and can provide cortisone injections when appropriate to reduce inflammation and pain.

 

In many cases, custom orthotics are needed to relieve the pain and control mechanics.

At-Home Care & Prevention

A big part of treating heel pain involves learning proper stretching exercises for your calf muscles and plantar fascia. Dr. Rudin will teach you specific stretches to do throughout the day, especially first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. He'll recommend appropriate footwear with good arch support and cushioning, plus explain how ice therapy and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can help manage pain and swelling.

Ongoing Management

Since plantar fasciitis can be stubborn and tend to come back, Dr. Rudin focuses on long-term management strategies. This includes regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress, possible custom orthotics to provide ongoing arch support and reduce strain on the plantar fascia, and activity modifications to prevent re-injury. He'll work with you to gradually return to your normal activities while protecting your feet.
