Heel pain is one of the most commonly experienced foot and ankle conditions out there. Unfortunately, even for as often as we diagnose and treat it in our office, there are still many, many more people out there who haven't taken the step to deal with this daily discomfort.
Whether your heel pain is worst as soon as you hop out of bed in the morning, or tends to flare up after a jog or a long day standing at work, the vast majority of cases can be addressed in ways that provide significant or complete relief.When you are experiencing a pain every day-especially as part of your daily work day or routine-it is easy to fall into thinking that there's simply nothing you can do about it.

If you have not had success treating your persistent or chronic heel pain, it does not mean that your case is a lost cause. In fact, that's simply not true for most causes of heel pain in general. The vast majority of heel pain causes can be effectively treated - and without the need for surgery, either!
The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in your body - but it also tends to be a frequent source of heel pain for many people! Achilles tendinitis is a problem we frequently see and treat at Michigan Foot & Ankle Specialists, so never delay in reaching out to us for the help you need.
