Heel Pain
Overview
Heel pain is usually focused on the underside or the back of your heel. Likely underlying causes are plantar fasciitis, if the pain is on the underside, or Achilles tendonitis, if the pain is on the back. Neither condition is medically serious, though they are painful and can interfere with daily activity. Both conditions can be treated with rest and, if the pain persists, physical therapy.
