Anyone undergoing pain in the heel Japanese Toe Nail Fungus Code Review should seek advice from his or her healthcare provider in order to get a definitive diagnosis. Heel pain can be caused by many contributing factors and should be diagnosed by a healthcare professional. In making a definitive diagnosis, x-rays will be needed. Once the diagnosis is made and the causative factors identified, treatment can be started.
Some of the most common causes of heel pain are, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, infection, tumor, cyst, and fracture or stress factor. The plantar fascia is a very dense connective tissue that stretches from the heel bone (calcaneous) to the heads of the metatarsal bones.
Most often heel pain will be attributed to either plantar fasciitis or a heel spur. The heel spur may be a result of the plantar fasciitis. Other causes of heel spurs are, constant trauma to the heel, where the individual engages in a sport that constantly applies a pounding to the heels. Occupation, where excessive walking or standing all day on a hard surface can contribute to the forming of a heel spur. An individual’s walking posture and the shoes they wear are very important as well. As we age there is a tendency for the heel pad to atrophy and there is less protection for the heel bone and the stresses it undergoes.
All of the above causes can be classified as biomechanical because of the stresses placed on the feet. To treat the actual cause, it must be identified and eliminated entirely if at all possible, or if that is not feasible, it should be partly eliminated. If the individual is a professional athlete, or say a postal worker, they must use the proper shoes. Where a heel spur is shown on x-ray, the patient should use a heel pad insert specifically designed for those with heel spurs. These are pads with a cutout in the center that allows the pressure to be taken off the area of the heel spur.
