Heel complaints

The main causes of heel complaints or pain in the heel are heel spurs and tendon inflammation.

• Heel spur is a calcification under the heel at the junction of the tendon plate that runs to the forefoot. It causes pain when the heel is put down.
• Tendon inflammation is the result of an overload of the footsole tendon. Pain develops when unwinding the foot. Pain can also arise when standing up. Sometimes a swelling is present or pain may occur when walking longer distances.
