Don't let heel pain keep you from an active lifestyle
Heel pain is a common complaint for many people. It can be caused by a number of things, including overuse, poor footwear, or even just age. Regardless of the reason, it hurts. According to Julie DeSimone, Chiropodist and owner of DeSimone Foot & Ankle Centre, heel pain is both common and treatable.
“Children between the ages of 9 and 12 can develop a condition called calcaneal apophysitis, which is also known as Sever’s disease. This is a painful inflammation of the growth plate that is located in the heel bone,” explains Julie. “The pain increases with activity, like running and jumping, and can result in children limping or walking on their toes.”
Adult Heel Pain One of the most common causes for heel pain in adults is the overuse injury called plantar fasciitis. “We often treat adult heel pain with custom orthotics, which help to realign your feet, and supportive walking shoes that have extra heel cushioning in them. We can also suggest exercises that can help to strengthen the foot and prevent re-injury,” she says.
