What is it?
The human foot is the most injured part of our body. And as a part of it, the largest bone in the foot heel bone also gets injured. When this injury takes place, it makes walking miserable from all angles.

Causes
Apart from fractures and bruising, other common causes are stress, strain, and too much pressure on various parts of the ankle and foot. Being overweight, walking, running on hard surfaces, and wearing improper footwear also lead to heel pain.

Symptoms
Swelling, redness, and radiating heat from the heel are major symptoms of heel pain. In addition to these, there is a pain in the arch, and sharp pain while standing up are other symptoms.

Consequences if left untreated
If you let go of heel pain, it lands in constant pain and makes it difficult even to walk smoothly.

Treatment
The treatment for Heel pain is initially carried out with physical therapy, medications, and custom orthotics to reduce the inflammation and irritation.
