When to Get Help for Heel Pain

If you’ve been on your feet for a long time, it’s common that you’ll be sore for a day or two and experience some heel pain. When heel pain continues for longer than a week, you may want to seek help from your podiatrist. Heel pain that is reoccurring is often linked to plantar fasciitis.

With plantar fasciitis, your heels might feel stiff and sore, and it may be difficult to walk normally. You’ll experience the most pain after waking up or after sitting once you’ve been on your feet for a while. If you start experiencing this on a regular basis, you should visit your podiatrist to start treatment and ease some of the pain that you may be experiencing.

Your podiatrist may recommend sleeping with a night splint to help keep pressure on your heels and ease some of the pain that occurs when you’ve been dormant the whole night. You can also ice your feet and do some stretching exercises to help strengthen the muscles and relieve inflammation.
