Heel pain that lingers beyond a couple of weeks is worth having looked at, especially if it's most intense with your first steps in the morning. Persistent heel pain is often connected to conditions like plantar fasciitis, but it can also stem from a stress fracture, nerve irritation, or a tendon issue, each of which calls for a different treatment approach. Trying to push through heel pain without a diagnosis can lead to compensating in ways that strain your knees, hips, or lower back.
Our team can identify what's driving the pain and start with conservative options like targeted physical therapy or regenerative treatments before considering anything more invasive.
