What Causes Foot & Heel Pain?
Foot and heel pain can stem from several causes. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, a sore foot and heel will often resolve on its own without invasive therapies, such as surgery, if a person rests her foot. The AAOS notes that, for those who ignore the early signs of foot and heel pain and continue the activities that may have caused the pain, the pain typically gets worse and could lead to a chronic condition.
