Heel pain

Heel and arch pain, why won’t it go away?

Evaluation

Are your feet hurting day after day? Do you dread getting up in the morning, find yourself in pain by evening, or experience discomfort when exercising? Plantar fasciitis might be the culprit. This condition is a frequent source of foot discomfort, often causing pain ranging from mild to severe on the bottom or side of your heel. But there's good news: you don't have to endure this pain indefinitely
