Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Heel pain (talalgia) is the term that describes pain located in the heel, one of the most common foot complaints. It can appear when putting weight on the foot, when walking, or after periods of rest, and it has various origins.
How it shows up: pain in the lower or back part of the heel, which is sometimes more intense with the first steps of the day or after standing for a long time.
Associated factors: it is usually related to overload, the type of footwear, intense physical activity, or alterations in the way of stepping.
Who evaluates it? The orthopedist is the professional who studies foot problems; in children, the pediatric orthopedist is the one to see. If heel pain persists or limits activities, having one of them check it helps you understand its cause.
