HEEL PAIN IN SAINT-LAMBERT? GET A BIOMECHANICAL EXAMINATION IN BROSSARD
Heel pain in Saint-Lambert may occur when getting up, while walking, after physical activity or following trauma. Because several structures in the foot may be involved, the location of the pain, when it occurs and the movements that worsen it provide useful information during the assessment.
Located in Brossard, Clinique Podiatrique Rive-Sud welcomes children, adults, seniors and active individuals from the South Shore. A biomechanical examination can be used to observe gait and foot mechanics to better understand factors related to discomfort. Bring your usual footwear and the results of any previous examinations, if available. Talk to our team about your symptoms to schedule a consultation for heel pain in Saint-Lambert.
WHICH CONDITIONS ARE OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH HEEL PAIN?
Heel pain can be related to different structures in the foot. Here are some conditions frequently associated with this type of discomfort.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis affects the fascia that supports the arch of the foot. Pain is often more noticeable during the first steps in the morning or after sitting for an extended period.
Heel Spur
A heel spur is a bony growth located on the heel bone. It may be associated with irritation of the plantar fascia, although it does not always cause symptoms.
Achilles Tendinitis
This condition can cause pain behind the heel, particularly after physical exertion or repetitive movements. Stiffness may also be felt upon waking or after a period of inactivity.
Heel Bursitis
Heel bursitis is inflammation of a bursa near the heel. It may cause redness, swelling, stiffness or increased tenderness.
Because several conditions can have similar symptoms, an evaluation can help distinguish the structures involved and the factors contributing to discomfort.
