Heel Problems

Plantar Fasciitis is the most common heel pain condition we see at Foot Right Podiatry. The Plantar Fascia is a thick and fibrous band of tissue that starts at the base of the heel bone (calcaneus) and ends at the ball of your foot (metatarsals). The primary role of the plantar fascia is to support the arch of your foot and can easily be injured when overloaded or overused.

Calcaneal Apophysitis is commonly called Sever's Disease, but it is not a disease! It is the most common cause of heel pain in children aged between 8 and 14 years old.
