Heel Pain

Patient Education Videos

Heel pain is most often the result of overuse. However, it may be caused by an injury.

Your heel may become tender or swollen from:

• Shoes with poor support or shock absorption
• Running on hard surfaces, like concrete
• Running too often
• Tightness in your calf muscle or the Achilles tendon
• Sudden inward or outward turning of your heel
• Landing hard or awkwardly on the heel

Conditions that may cause heel pain include:

• Swelling and pain in the Achilles tendon
• Swelling of the fluid-filled sac (bursa) at the back of the heel bone under the Achilles tendon (bursitis)
• Bone spurs in the heel
• Swelling of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot (plantar fasciitis)
• Fracture of the heel bone that is related to landing very hard on your heel from a fall (calcaneus fracture)
