Heel Pain

There are many causes of heel pain. The most typical is plantar fasciitis. Patients sometimes know this as "heel bruise" "stone bruise" "bone spur" or another name. The plantar fascial ligament is a structure that runs on the bottom of your foot which helps to support the arch. When this fails, it is typical for pain to occur during the first few steps in the morning which either gets better or worse as the day progresses.
