Do you feel a sharp pain under your heel while taking your first steps in the morning? Does standing or walking for long periods make the pain worse? Have you noticed persistent heel discomfort despite resting? Are you searching for a βphysiotherapist near meβ for heel pain relief? A heel spur may be associated with plantar heel pain, but the spur itself is not always the cause of symptoms.
Why Does Heel Pain Occur?
A heel spur is a bony growth that can develop where tissues attach to the heel bone. It may occur with long-term stress on the plantar fascia. Tight calf muscles, prolonged standing, increased activity, and poor footwear can contribute to heel pain.
How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy focuses on treating the underlying causes of pain. Treatment focuses on:
β’ Calf and plantar fascia stretching
β’ Foot and ankle strengthening
β’ Manual therapy when appropriate
β’ Gait and footwear assessment
β’ Gradual return to activity
What You Can Try at Home
Wear supportive footwear, avoid sudden increases in walking or running, stretch your calves regularly, reduce prolonged standing when possible, and follow a gradual strengthening program.
For specialised care, Dr. Deepika Bansal β Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy to reduce heel pain, improve foot function, and help you return to comfortable walking.
