What causes Heel Pain? Mineola and Williston Park Podiatry <br /><br />Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the <br /><br />foot. Our practice can evaluate arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called <br /><br />orthoses to help alleviate the pain. <br /><br />Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue that stretches from the <br /><br />base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the <br /><br />heel bone. Also called heel spur syndrome, the condition can usually be successfully <br /><br />treated with conservative measures such as use of anti-inflammatory medications and ice <br /><br />packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. <br /><br />Visit our website: http://www.countryfootcare.com
