Heel pain is pain that occurs on the back or underside of the heel. Heel pain is rarely a symptom of something more severe or complicated; however, it can interfere with everyday activities and your quality of life.

Often with rest and over the counter anti-inflammatory medications, heel pain will go away on its own. If pain is persistent or worsening, you should make an appointment to see one of our board certified podiatric physicians right away.
