Common heel disease

Your feet are very important, and when you experience pain or discomfort that limits your ability to use your feet, everyday life becomes difficult. In fact, your overall quality of life may be reduced.

Even if your little toe has problems, or the blisters on your heels can have a negative impact on your normal mobility, the great things like heel pain don't matter.

If your heel has pain or discomfort, there are many reasons. If the pain is chronic and severe enough to greatly affect the daily use of your feet, it is highly recommended that you see the podiatrist as soon as possible.

For other heel pain disorders, you can get relief and treatment in a variety of ways, from stretching to orthopedics.

Not every heel pain can be effectively treated in the same way. Therefore, it is important to know what causes the heel disease.

Here are some common heel diseases you may have:

Stone contusion

This common heel disease occurs when you step on a hard or pointed object such as a stone or pebbles. A breeze on the fat pad of the heel may cause some temporary mild pain and discoloration. Pain usually disappears with rest.

Plantar fasciitis [lower bone pain]

For plantar fasciitis, the tissue band [fascia] that connects the heel to the toe becomes inflamed and irritated. The pain is in the heel and is more severe in the first few steps of the morning. Heel pads, medications and certain exercises can help alleviate the severity of pain and inflammation.

Heel thorn

Heel thorns are usually the result of chronic plantar fasciitis. They are calcium deposits formed on the fascia tissue. Heel spurs may not cause pain.

Pain behind the heel

There may be multiple causes of pain behind the heel, the most common of which is tear or inflammation of the Achilles tendon. As time goes by, the heel pain will gradually increase, and the skin behind the heel will become thicker, redden and swollen.

Achilles tendonitis

Achilles tendinitis is a common motor injury caused by overuse of tendons that connect the calf muscles to the heel bone. May cause pain and pain in the back of the heel.

Heel fracture

Fracture fractures require a lot of strength and stress. Falling from a height, jumping from a height, the victim of a car accident is a common cause of the heel bone fragments. Heel fractures are painful and severe and require timely treatment, which is usually a heel reconstruction.

Heel fractures can lead to future heel problems, including chronic pain, swelling, loss of foot movement, and arthritis.

Cracked high heels

The skin is severely ruptured, and the open sore heel can make walking difficult, especially when shoes are worn. You can treat cracked skin by avoiding backless shoes, weight loss and moisturizing lotions. Although ruptured high heels may be just dry skin, it may also be a symptom of diabetes and a loss of nerve function in the foot.

Haglund's malformation

Those with Haglund's Defamation will form an enlarged part of the foot on the heel, causing painful irritation and inflammation of the bursa [a fluid-filled sac between the Achilles tendon and the heel bone]. Bone swelling also counters the back of the shoe, causing blisters.

Medial and lateral plantar nerve compression

People who are standing or sitting will continue to have pain, and because of the movement of the ankles, people who wear some shoes or sports and other physical activities that cause increased pain may have medial or lateral plantar nerves. Through this nerve compression, the nerves between the bones, ligaments and other connective tissues of the foot are squeezed or compressed, resulting in near-continuous pain.

T-bone tunnel syndrome

With t-bone tunnel syndrome, ankle or numbness originates in the heel and moves to the toes before the end of the ankle. Orthotics, better shoes, ankle orthoses, physical therapy and surgery are common treatments for t-bone tunnel syndrome.

Heel pain can be debilitating and can greatly affect your mobility and quality of life. There are many reasons behind the heel pain. It is important to make an appointment with your podiatrist to find out the specific cause of the heel pain and to understand the best and appropriate treatment.
