Haglund's Deformity: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Haglund's deformity is a bony growth on the heel bone (calcaneus) where it attaches to the Achilles tendon. The growth causes a bump that can be seen and felt through the skin. It can cause heel pain, especially when a person wear shoes that press tightly against the back of the heel.

 

Here are some tips on alleviating pressure and pain experienced with Haglund’s deformity:

  • Shoe inserts or insoles can help reduce the pressure on the back of the heel, which can help to relieve pain and inflammation. They can also help improve range of motion and prevent further damage to the heel.

  • Choose shoes that fit well and have good arch support. Shoes that are too tight or too loose can put pressure on the back of the heel and make the pain worse.

  • Avoid shoes with high heels or pointed toes, which put extra stress on the back of the heel and can make the pain worse.

  • Choose shoes with lots of heel cushioning to cradle and support the foot, reduce pressure on the back of the heel and relieve pain.

How do you prevent it from getting worse?

  • Avoid shoes with rigid or tight heel areas, as they can exacerbate the condition.

  • Keep your feet dry to prevent excessive friction and irritation. Choose shoes made from breathable materials to reduce moisture build-up in the shoe.

  • Aim for shoes with a roomy toe box and sufficient arch and heel support.

  • Perform stretching exercises to improve the flexibility of the Achilles tendon and calf muscles to alleviate strain on the back of the heel. Strengthening exercises for the lower leg muscles can also help.

  • Take breaks when you are on your feet for long periods of time. Sitting down and resting your feet can help to reduce pain and inflammation.

  • Applying ice to your heels for 20 minutes at a time can help to reduce pain and inflammation.
