Heel-pain
Although heel pain is rarely a health threat, the intensity of pain and discomfort that can come with it can interfere with your normal activities. The pain may be felt on the bottom, the side, or the back of the heel, or in the arch of the foot. Injuries, sprains, fractures, pinched nerves, and wear and tear on the heel pad are common causes of heel pain. Wearing flat shoes or poorly fitting shoes, accidently pounding the foot on a hard surface, being overweight can also trigger the pain, which is usually worse in the morning upon arising. Heel pain may also result from several medical conditions, including Achilles tendinitis (pain on the back of the heel), bursitis, fibromyalgia, gout, heel spurs (a pointed bony outgrowth of the heel bone), plantar fasciitis (pain on the bottom of the heel), arthritis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and tendinitis . You can ease the symptoms of heel pain by using some home remedies along with certain lifestyle changes. If the pain becomes severe and you’re finding it difficult to even take a step, consult a doctor or a podiatrist. Below are 5 natural ways to get relief from heel pain.
