What causes Heel Pain? Mineola and Williston Park Podiatry

Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the

foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called

orthoses to help alleviate the pain.

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue that stretches from the

base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the

heel bone. Also called heel spur syndrome, the condition can usually be successfully

treated with conservative measures such as use of anti-inflammatory medications and ice

packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy.
