Non-Surgical Treatment solutions for Heel Pain

Jennifer Wang

Heel pain is unpleasant, unwanted, and thoroughly inconvenient. In addition to the pain and swelling, it makes it far more difficult to navigate homes, halls, and life in general.

 

Non-Medical Treatment Options for Heel & Foot Pain

The most common causes of heel pain are plantar fasciitis (bottom of the heel) and Achilles tendinitis (back of the heel). Heel pain often goes away on its own with home care. 

For heel pain that isn't severe, try the following:

1)  Rest: If possible, avoid activities that put stress on your heels, such as running, standing for long periods, or walking on hard surfaces.

2)   Ice: Place an ice pack on your heel for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day.

3)  New shoes: Be sure your shoes fit properly and provide plenty of support. If you're an athlete, choose shoes appropriate for your sport, and replace them regularly. Orthopedic Shoes may be necessary.  See our Orthopedic Shoe Collection.

4)  Foot Supports:  There are many solutions in heel cups and orthotics to alleviate pain.
