Heel Pain Treatment in New Jersey

The Causes of Heel Pain

All you want to do is stand up and walk without heel pain! Most likely, heel pain is restricting activities that you would normally enjoy... golf, tennis or skiing. Every step you take, should not come with pain!

The average healthy person takes a minimum of 3000 steps a day. Unfortunately, many people suffering with heel pain wear poorly designed and/or fitted shoes, in addition to walking incorrectly - with poor gait patterns and bad posture. This not only results in aches and pains in the heel, but pain may radiate to other parts of the body. 

The heels bear tons of pressure just by standing and walking - so, it’s really no surprise that heel pain is a common complaint. Symptoms vary - pain may develop gradually or occur suddenly and be accompanied by redness, thickened skin or swelling.

Why are you suffering? There are numerous causes of heel pain. However, it is often associated with nerve, tendon and ligament problems of the foot. Common factors include:

Are you looking for heel pain relief? Fortunately, most heel problems can be treated without surgery. Early diagnosis and heel pain treatment can help prevent bigger heel problems. There are many heel pain treatment options, along with lifestyle changes to speed recovery. Some heel pain sufferers are able to overcome their pain with non-invasive therapy and return to work and their favorite activities. Traditional “at-home” remedies include stretching the calf, massaging, decreasing one's training, losing weight, purchasing better-fitting shoes (with a raised heel and arch support), icing the sore heel and taking over-the-counter medications - such as ibuprofen. However, these treatments all focus on relieving the symptom, they do not address the cause of the  problem. Corrective care may be necessary, especially if pain continues or comes back. An effective, customized rehabilitation program can be created by our healthcare Team of Experts - Pain Management Physician, Physical Therapists and Chiropractors to correct the root cause of heel pain.
