Heel Spur and Plantar Fasciitis treatment in Nezahualcóyotl

When heel pain appears, two common causes are a heel spur and plantar fasciitis; the podiatrist and the physical therapist usually evaluate them and provide guidance on the most appropriate management.

A heel spur is a small bony prominence that forms on the heel, while plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the band of tissue that runs along the sole of the foot; they often occur together.

Common symptoms: The pain is usually felt in the sole or the heel, especially with the first steps of the day or after standing for a long time.

When to consult? If the pain persists or limits your activities, it is worth getting an evaluation to understand its origin and to care for your feet appropriately.
