What Caused My Heel Pain?
Heel pain can be caused by one or a number of factors:
- Change in activity type
- A sudden increase in the intensity of physical activity

- Flat feet or high arches
- Autoimmune condition

Early Signs & Symptoms Of Heel Pain
Pain can range from a dull ache, stabbing pain, tightness and or burning in the heel or arch.
Ask yourself the following…..
- Does my heel hurt from taking a couple of steps after sitting?
- Do I feel pain as soon as I get up in the morning?
- Is my heel sore during or after exercise?
If you answered YES then it is recommended that you book an appointment to have our caring podiatrists take a look.
The longer you ignore the pain, the harder this condition is to treat which will lengthen the healing process for you.
