Common Types Of Heel Conditions

Pain in the arches and heels are the most common issues treated at our clinics in Essendon and Sunbury. Another common condition is known as Plantar Fasciitis — the inflammation of the ligament attached to your heel and running to the ball of your foot. Plantar Fasciitis is caused by overuse of this ligament, abnormal foot structure or improper shoes. If you have Plantar Fasciitis, you may experience pain on the inside or bottom of the heel when standing and severe pain when you are standing in the morning.
