Non-Surgical Approaches To Heel Pain
Depending on the cause of your heel pain, your doctor may either recommend surgery or conservative, non-surgical methods of treatment. Before your heel pain doctor can determine which treatment protocol is best for you, they will need to perform a comprehensive physical examination and view your x-rays. While surgery may be the treatment of choice for bone spur-related heel pain and bunions, other causes of heel pain such as arthritis and plantar fasciitis may respond well to the following non-surgical approaches.
