Heel sports injuries can vary in severity and type, so it's important to consult with a foot & ankle specialist/Podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, here are some general treatments that may be recommended initially for heel sports injuries:
Rest: Give your heel sufficient time to heal by avoiding activities that worsen the pain. Rest is crucial in the early stages of injury.
Ice: Apply ice to the affected area to reduce inflammation and numb pain. Use a cold pack wrapped in a thin cloth for about 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
Elevation: Elevate your foot above the level of your heart whenever possible, especially when resting or sleeping, to minimize swelling.

Should I heat or ice my ankle?
For acute ankle injuries, especially those accompanied by inflammation, swelling, or recent trauma, it is generally recommended to use ice (cold therapy) during the initial stages. READ MORE
For acute ankle injuries, especially those accompanied by inflammation, swelling, or recent trauma, it is generally recommended to use ice (cold therapy) during the initial stages. Ice helps constrict blood vessels, reduce swelling, and numb the area, providing pain relief. Applying an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth to the affected ankle for about 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours during the first 48 hours after an injury can be beneficial.
But if you are dealing with chronic ankle pain, stiffness, or muscle tightness, heat therapy may be more appropriate. Heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscles, and helps alleviate stiffness. You can use a hot water bottle, warm towel, or heating pad on the affected ankle for 15-20 minutes at a time.
Remember that these are general guidelines, and individual responses to heat and cold therapy can vary. It's always a good idea to consult with a Foot & Ankle Specialist/Podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, especially if the pain persists or worsens. Additionally, if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, your healthcare provider can offer guidance on the most appropriate approach for your situation.
