Don’t Wait—Heel Pain Can Worsen Over Time

May 25 2025

Ignoring heel pain can lead to long-term damage and reduced mobility. Early treatment is key to a faster recovery and a better quality of life.

Heel pain is more than just discomfort—it’s your body signaling that something isn’t right. Whether it’s a dull ache in the morning or sharp pain after activity, ignoring it can turn a manageable issue into a chronic condition.

At Family Foot & Leg Center, we emphasize early intervention because heel pain rarely goes away on its own. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, or nerve compression can worsen without proper care, eventually impacting your ability to walk, exercise, or even stand for extended periods.

🦶 Effective Treatment Options for Heel Pain

We offer a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to your condition and lifestyle:

✅ Custom orthotics, insoles, or night splints
✅ Targeted physical therapy
✅ Cortisone injections
✅ Shockwave therapy (ESWT)
✅ Minimally invasive procedures
