Treatment in The Woodlands, Conroe & Magnolia and Surrounding Areas

Fast and Effective Relief at The Foot and Ankle Center

Heel pain can make even the simplest daily tasks—like getting out of bed, walking to your car, or standing at work—feel almost impossible. At The Foot and Ankle Center, our goal is simple: help you understand what’s causing your heel pain and provide the treatment you need to get back to moving comfortably.

Serving The Woodlands, Conroe, Magnolia, and surrounding areas we specialize in diagnosing all types of heel pain and creating personalized treatment plans that deliver fast, lasting relief.

Heel pain has many possible causes—not just plantar fasciitis—so receiving expert evaluation is the key to fast, lasting relief.

Understanding Heel Pain

Heel pain can develop suddenly or gradually, depending on the underlying condition. It may be felt:

• On the bottom of the heel

• At the back of the heel

• Along the arch of the foot

• After standing, walking, or exercising

Because several conditions can cause heel pain, accurate diagnosis is essential for proper treatment.

Common Causes of Heel Pain

At The Foot and Ankle Center, we evaluate all potential sources of heel discomfort, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis - Inflammation of the plantar fascia causing sharp, morning “first-step” pain.

• Achilles Tendonitis - Irritation where the Achilles tendon connects at the back of the heel.

• Heel Spurs - Calcium deposits that develop due to long-term strain on foot tissues.

• Bursitis - Inflamed fluid-filled sacs causing heel tenderness and swelling.

• Stress Fractures - Tiny bone cracks often caused by overuse or repetitive impact.

• Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome - A nerve compression issue causing burning or tingling pain in the heel.

• Sever’s Disease (in children) - Growth plate inflammation commonly seen in active kids and teens.

We determine exactly what is causing your symptoms so treatment is precise and effective.

When to See a Podiatrist

If you live in The Woodlands, Conroe, Magnolia and surrounding areas schedule an appointment if you experience:

• Heel pain lasting more than a few days

• Pain that worsens with activity

• Difficulty walking or standing

• Pain that affects work, sports, or daily life

• Swelling, burning, or numbness in the heel

• Pain that begins suddenly after an injury

Prompt evaluation prevents the condition from becoming chronic.

Nonsurgical Treatment Options

Most causes of heel pain improve with noninvasive treatments such as:

• Custom orthotics for better arch and heel support

• Stretching routines for calves and plantar fascia

• Night splints to maintain proper foot position

• Icing and anti-inflammatory medication

• Supportive footwear recommendations

• Physical therapy

• Activity modification

These therapies help reduce inflammation, improve biomechanics, and restore normal motion.

At The Foot and Ankle Center, we offer a full range of treatments, from conservative therapies to advanced medical options.
