Here at AFP Podiatry – Lombard, some of the most common reasons that patients visit us for treatment are related to heel pain. Some symptoms that bring patients in to visit our heel pain specialist in Lombard include: pain on the bottom of the heel, pain that is usually worse when you stand up, pain that increases over a period of months, and pain in the arch of the foot. If you are experiencing any of these heel pain symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with our heel pain specialist in Lombard as soon as possible so that we can assess your symptoms and offer you the treatment you need. Firstly, it is helpful to understand why heel pain occurs in the first place. It occurs most often as a result of the structure of the foot. For example, if you have overly flat feet or overly arched feet, it is likely you are not wearing shoes that give your feet the kind of support they need. Visiting our heel pain specialist in Lombard can be helpful because we can identify your foot type and then give you recommendations for footwear that will help relieve your symptoms and give you increased comfort as you move through your day. In order to diagnose your heel pain as plantar fascilitis, our heel pain specialist in Lombard will discuss your symptoms with you, examine your foot, and perform x-rays as needed. From there, we can work with you to determine the treatment plan that will work best for you. Aside from surgery, we can help you with stretching exercises, lifestyle changes, ice therapy, medications, and more.
