PROPER DIAGNOSIS OF THE CAUSE OF YOUR HEEL PAIN
Although heel pain is often caused by plantar fasciitis – an inflammation in the tissues that span the bottom of the feet – it can also be due to fractures, tendonitis, arthritis, nerves issues, and other causes.
Let A Step Above Podiatry properly diagnose the condition so you can get targeted foot care that fully addresses your heel pain.
TREATMENT OPTIONS TO GET RID OF YOUR HEEL PAIN
