When should I see a doctor for heel pain?
Yes you should. Heel pain can occur from having a spur, plantar fasciitis or a heel stress fracture. In any of these cases having a baseline set of x-rays can help to diagnose your problem. READ MORE
My heels are in pain all the time?
Steroid injections, taping and strapping of the foot/ankle, pre-fabricated or custom orthotics, prescription medication, physical therapy and surgery. I would recommend trying conservative forms of care first and if they fail consider surgical intervention. READ MORE
