Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints, often linked to plantar fasciitis, heel strains, or Achilles tendonitis. Over time, these conditions may contribute to the development of heel spurs: small, bony growths on the underside or back of the heel that can cause sharp or persistent pain. Contributing factors can include poorly fitting shoes, lack of arch support, and participating in high-impact activities such as running or jumping.
