Heel Pain

Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a common condition where the band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. Many people notice sharp pain in the heel when they first get out of bed or stand up after sitting for a while. If the problem goes untreated, it can lead to a heel spur, which may show up on an X-ray. At Lansing Foot & Ankle Center, we offer a variety of effective treatments, including custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, and in some cases, surgery. Most of the time, non-surgical care brings great relief.
