One of the most common type of pain in the foot is heel pain. There are many causes of heel pain ranging from the inflammation of local soft tissue such as an inflammed plantar fascia to a developing stress fracture of the heel bone. By far the most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis.

 

People with plantar fasciitis often experience severe pain as they first get up to walk in the morning or after sitting for awhile then getting up to walk. This condition is known as post kinetic dyskenesia which means pain after rest. Heel pain can usually be treated very successfully without having to resort to surgery.
