To ensure the most effective approach for your heel pain, I recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Loor. He can provide a precise diagnosis and tailor a treatment plan to address your specific condition.

Yes
It depends on the cause of the heel pain. If it is plantar fasciitis, massage may help. If it is tarsal tunnel, massage may make it worse. Best choice is to go to a podiatrist to have a diagnosis made and discuss treatment options.Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

No, massaging usually does not help with heel pain. Non-surgery and surgical approaches are available, please seek help from a podiatrist.
A massage may help for certain pathologies, but I have experienced patients who have developed MORE pain from massage, particularly if you don't have the correct diagnosis or the massage therapist is not as well-trained or is too rough. It is a better idea to see a foot and ankle specialist, get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, and if your physician feels that it may be beneficial for you to have a massage, then he can discuss that with you.
Massage can help with heel pain. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.
