Not all heel pain is created equal. That’s why two people with sore heels can need completely different treatments. The most well-known type is plantar fasciitis, irritation of the strong band of tissue that supports your arch. This often feels like a stabbing pain under the heel, especially first thing in the morning.

But plantar fasciitis isn’t the only culprit. Achilles tendinopathy can cause pain at the back of the heel, where the tendon attaches. Heel spurs, small bony growths, may contribute to discomfort, though often they’re a sign of ongoing strain rather than the main source of pain. Other conditions include bursitis, nerve entrapment, or even stress fractures.

Children can also experience a special type of heel pain known as Sever’s disease, linked to growth plate irritation during active years.

Understanding which type of heel pain you have is critical, because treatments vary. What works for plantar fasciitis might not help an Achilles issue, and could even make it worse. That’s where expert podiatry care makes the difference.

At Waikato Podiatry Clinic, we take a thorough approach to heel pain, combining clinical testing with years of experience. Once we know the exact cause, we can tailor treatment, from stretching and strengthening exercises, to orthotics, footwear advice, or shockwave therapy.

Heel pain doesn’t have to be a guessing game. With the right diagnosis, you can move from frustration to freedom.
