A diagnosis you can act on

Understand the cause before choosing treatment.

Heel pain may relate to the plantar fascia, a tendon, a nerve, an injury, footwear, or biomechanics. A discolored nail is not automatically fungus. A painful spot on the sole is not always a wart.

  • Describe what you feel and when it happens
  • Bring relevant imaging or records you already have
  • Expect treatment choices only after evaluation
See the heel-pain page

Call first for a new wound or a very recent injury.

The team can help decide whether the practice is the appropriate first stop and how quickly you should be seen.
