What Causes Heel Pain—And How Can You Find Relief?
Heel pain causes a throbbing, aching, burning, or stabbing sensation in the back or bottom of the foot. This type of pain is a common complaint for people of all ages and activity levels. In fact, heel pain makes up over two million visits to the doctor's office each year in the U.S.1
Your heel pain may often worsen with weight-bearing activities like standing or walking, which can limit mobility and affect your daily activities.2 While dismissing heel pain as a minor annoyance may be tempting, seeking medical attention can help relieve your symptoms and prevent long-term complications, like bone spurs or foot deformities.3
