Common Causes of Heel Pain:
Heel pain is a term that captures a range of pain conditions at the heel (calcaneus). It can stem from various sources, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, and other inflammatory or degenerative conditions. Understanding the specific cause is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.​​

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, characterized by inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot.
