Causes of heel pain
A single incident, like a twist or fall, or repetitive tension and pounding on the heel can both cause heel discomfort.
Additionally, wearing flat shoes can stretch the plantar fascia and cause swelling or inflammation, which hurts and is uncomfortable.
Heel pain is frequently brought on by:
Plantar fasciitis
The plantar fascia is inflamed in this situation. The plantar fascia is a powerful ligament that connects the calcaneum, or heel bone, to the tip of the foot. It resembles a bowstring.
The anatomy of a person’s feet frequently causes this kind of pain. For instance, plantar fasciitis [1] may result from very high or low arches.
