Heel Pain

There are many potential causes of heel pain and our doctors at Advanced Foot & Ankle Surgeons are trained to distinguish between them, determine the underlying source of your heel pain and prescribe the best treatment program to help you. If you suffer from heel pain, we invite you to make an appointment with one of our doctors for an actual diagnosis.

Plantar Fasciitis

(also known as “Heel Spur Syndrome”): Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the band of tissue that extends from the heel to the toes.

Treatment Option for Plantar Fasciotomy

Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which usually progresses to a degeneration of the tendon (Achilles tendonosis), in which the tendon loses its organized structure and can develop microscopic tears. In some cases, chronic degeneration may result in rupture of the tendon.

Treatment Options for Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles Tendon Lengthening

Surgery for Achilles Tendon Rupture

Debridement of the Achilles Tendon

Haglund’s Deformity

(also known as “pump Bump” and Retrocalcaneal Exostosis”): Haglunds deformity is a painful enlargement of the back of the heel bone that becomes irritated by shoes.

Treatment Option for Haglund's Deformity

Resection of Haglund's Deformity
