What are the causes of Heel Pain?
Heel Pain is a very common foot condition, as the heel is the part of the foot that hits the ground first during walking. There are two main causes of Heal Pain; the presence of a Heel Spur and the foot condition known as Plantar Faciitis. Most common causes of Heel Pain are related to excessive weight placed on the feet, such as being overweight or pregnancy. A sudden increase in sporting activity or walking can also place additional pressure on the feet and cause Heel Pain. Other factors that cause Heel Pain are walking abnormalities, Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
