Move forward without the pain.
The most common forms of foot pain in adults and children are heel pain. Heel pain is typically a result of daily activities, injuries or strenuous or repetitive exercise. The heel bone (calcaneus) is the largest bone in the foot, and for most people it is the first part of the foot to make contact with the ground, bearing the impact of each step.
Heel pain can also be the result of a variety of medical conditions which include:
• -Flat feet
• -Improper fitting shoes
• -Sever's disease
• -Out-toe ÝDuck Feetß
• -In-toe ÝPigeon Toeß
• -Growing pains
Dr. Wallen has been successfully treating heel pain for over 26 years using the latest surgical and non-surgical methods. He thoroughly understands foot mechanics, foot deformities, and adheres to the highest standards for biomechanical evaluations.
The first step in treating heel pain is to know what is causing it. Dr. Wallen can provide you or your child with an accurate diagnosis followed by a treatment plan.
If you or a family member is suffering from heel pain please contact the office for an evaluation.
