The German Orthopedic Association has stated that heel pain, which is a very troublesome hassle, has several causes, such as obesity, wearing rough shoes, and excessive strain during exercise. It also attacks people whose work nature requires standing for long periods.
Pain occurs especially during the first steps in the morning or after sitting for a long time, and often extends to the foot and ankle as well.
Initially heel pain can be treated with stretching exercises, medical shoe brushes, physiotherapy, and medications. You can also resort to shockwave therapy.
And if all of these treatments don't work in pain, then surgery is resorted to.
