What is Achilles Tendonitis?

A calcaneal heel spur is a term often used to describe plantar fasciitis. A heel spur is the build-up of calcium deposits on the heel bone.   Heel spurs can develop in conjunction with plantar fasciitis (heel spur syndrome), Achilles tendonitis, and Haglund's Deformity or "pump bumps". 

Fallen Arches and Flat Feet?

Does the entire sole of your foot touch the ground when you stand up? You may have a fallen arch, also known as flatfoot. Flat feet can develop during childhood, or they can be the result of an injury or aging. Fallen arches are not usually painful in themselves, but this condition can contribute to other types of foot, ankle, and knee pain. If you have flat feet or pain in the arch of your consult a podiatrist.

What is Haglund's Deformity

Haglund's Deformity also known as a "pump bump", is a bony prominence or bone spur that develops on the back of the heel, near the insertion site of the Achilles tendon. The bone spur is caused by constant friction and pressure on the back of the heel and can make wearing shoes and walking very painful.

What is Bursitis? 

Pain and swelling on the back of the heel may be a symptom of bursitis, an inflammation of the bursa sack located beneath the heel bone. The bursa sack helps to reduce friction and cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint.
