Causes of Heel Pain
Supination Running Shoes
While it is inherent to bruise the fat pad of the heel by stepping on a stone, this is not the kind of heel pain I typically see in the office. The (why do my heels hurt?) type of heel pain I see in the office is ordinarily from a condition called plantar fasciitis (plant-tar-fass-she-eye-tis). The heel pain from plantar fasciitis is ordinarily worse in the first few steps in the morning and also when you get up and take those first few steps after sitting for a while. In the early stages, the pain subsides as you walk for a while and all things gets stretched out. However as the condition progresses the pain lasts all day long and may get worse throughout the day.
The plantar fascia is a band of fiber tissue that connects the heel to the bones of the toes. The plantar fascia acts like a spring and it is the tension in the plantar fascia that creates the arch of your foot. As you take a step, the plantar fascia stretches out a bit to allow the arch to flatten out and allow the foot to pronate (rotate toward the floor) This performance of pronation allows the bones of the mid- foot to unlock. The loose, unlocked bones of the mid-foot allow the foot to adapt to uneven surfaces. The spring performance of the plantar fascia also allows the foot to act as a shock absorber. At the end of the step the plantar fascia helps reverse the process. As the weight is transferred from the mid-foot to the fore-foot the plantar fascia tightens up again and allows the foot to supinate (rotate away from the floor). Supination relocks the bones of the foot and the foot becomes rigid so it can push-off from the floor and drive you forward.
The pain associated with plantar fasciitis comes from inflammation where the plantar fascia attaches to the bottom of the heel. This area of attachment becomes inflamed if the foot over-pronates and stretches out the plantar fascia too much. The over-stretching causes the plantar fascia pulls away from the bone. The body protects itself by building-up the bone where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel. The resulting build-up of bone is called a heel spur. On x-ray the heel spur looks like a hook shaped piece of bone advent out of the heel. However the heel-spur itself is not what is causing the, why do my heels hurt, type of pain. The heel pain comes from the inflammation of the fascia where it attaches to the bone.
Another cause of heel pain is at the site of attachment of the Achilles tendon to the back of the heel. The pain from this condition is bursitis. Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. A bursa is a pillow-like sac of fluid that is found everywhere a tendon comes in feel with or curves around bone. The bursa acts like a cushion to safe both the tendon and the bone. Too much pressure or conflict on the bursa causes the bursa sac to become inflamed and painful. Thus bursitis is ordinarily the succeed of over-use and this type of pain in the back of the heel known in healing terms as retrocalcaneal bursitis (retro means behind, the calcaneus is the healing term for the heel bone). ordinarily this is caused by immoderate running but can also be caused by the shoe being too tight and putting too much pressure and conflict on the area.
The solution To Heel Pain
Now that you know the riposte to, why do my heels hurt, the next demand you may ask is What can I do about it? The treatment for these conditions is ordinarily relatively simple and straightforward, seldom requires surgery and may not even want a visit to the doctor.
Since the cause of plantar fasciitis is ordinarily due to over pronation and immoderate stretching of the plantar fascia the treatment is to limit the amount of pronation and stretching. This is most categorically ended thru the use of a simple arch support. However the arch preserve must do categorically that, preserve the arch. Some people use the term arch preserve to refer to the cushions you can but over-the-counter in the drug store but this is not what you need. The over-the-counter arch supports seldom provide sufficient preserve to exact the qoute of over-pronation. An arch preserve with the rigidity to preserve the arch must be practice fit to the contour of the foot or it will cause pain. That is why the over-the-counter arch supports are soft. If they are soft they do not need to match the exact contour of the foot. However if they are soft they will also not preserve the foot. Therefore the permissible treatment requires a practice arch support. Fortunately practice arch supports no longer have to cost an arm and a leg. New technology allows practice arch supports to be made that are only slightly more than what you would pay over-the-counter.
The pain from retrocalcaneal bursitis (pain behind the heel) is treated by rest, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and a simple heel insert that lifts up the heel slightly to put a slight bit of slack in the Achilles tendon and allow the inflammation to subside. However if a heel insert is put in one shoe it is important to also put the same size insert in the other shoe to balance the leg lengths.
Pain in the heel is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong with your foot biomechanics. If you have a qoute with your foot biomechanics you could also have a qoute with knee, hip and low-back biomechanics. If you ask yourself, why do my heels hurt, then it is important to have this condition diagnosed and corrected as quickly as possible.
