What Causes Heel Pain?
Heel pain is one of the most common foot conditions and can result from several underlying causes beyond plantar fasciitis. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.
Common causes of heel pain include:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinitis
- Heel spurs

- Nerve entrapment (such as tarsal tunnel syndrome)

Each condition requires a different treatment approach, which is why a proper evaluation is important.
