Dr. Kapadwala, a podiatrist located in Brooklyn-Ridgewood, New York., discusses the causes, symptoms and treatments for heel pain.
Heel pain is often caused by the inflammation of plantar fascia which is a ligament on the bottom of the foot that starts from the bottom of heel bone and attaches to the ball of the foot. This plantar fascia ligament is like a rubber band which supports the arch of the foot and has the ability to expand and contract. When you are sleeping at night or sitting for a period of time, this ligament contracts and becomes smaller; Upon taking the first step after rest, patients with plantar fasciitis usually complain of sharp pain in the heel as a result of the ligament needing to undergo sudden expansion due to the body weight. Heel pain can be treated conservatively with oral or topical anti-inflammatory medications​, strapping​ of foot to support the ligament, stretching​ exercises for the tendon and ligament, application of ice to decrease the inflammation of the ligament, and cortisone injections in the heel.
Dr. Kapadwala also offers Pain Laser therapy to patients especially for those who are hesitant to get cortisone injections in the foot
​All of these treatment modalities help in decreasing and eventually eliminating the painful inflammation of the tendon and the ligament in foot.
Once the heel pain resolves, Dr. Kapadwala address the underlying biomechanical cause of heel pain by fabricating a pair of custom foot orthotics for the patient to avoid the pain from coming back.
