Don’t Let Heel Pain Slow You Down—Find Relief, Treatment and Answers with Orange Sky Podiatry in Orlando

As the fall season begins and routines pick up in Altamonte Springs and Orlando, persistent heel pain can quickly throw a wrench in your plans—whether you’re keeping up with your kids, working out, or just tackling daily errands. At Orange Sky Podiatry, I want you to know heel pain isn’t something you “just have to live with,” and there are real solutions to get you moving comfortably again.

Why do i have heel pain?

Heel pain is one of the most common complaints I see in the office. Sometimes, it’s caused by plantar fasciitis—a tight, inflamed band of tissue at the bottom of your foot. But there are many other reasons your heel could be hurting, including:

• Achilles tendonitis (irritation or overuse of the tendon at the back of your ankle)

• Heel spurs (calcium deposits causing sharp pain)

• Stress fractures or bruising from increased activity

• Poor footwear, sudden changes in activity, or even foot shape and arch type

Heel pain can sneak up gradually or appear suddenly, and it doesn’t just affect athletes—busy parents, teens, and even children can suffer from it.

The Risks of Ignoring Heel Pain

Pushing through the pain may seem like a quick fix, but untreated heel issues often get worse. You may start to avoid activities, change your gait (causing knee, hip, or back pain), or even develop chronic inflammation that’s much harder to resolve. Kids and teens who ignore pain risk missing out on sports, school events, and crucial developmental steps.

What Does a Foot Doctor Check For?

When you visit me at Orange Sky Podiatry, I take a thorough approach:

• I listen to your story—what hurts, when it started, what makes it better or worse.

• I examine your foot structure, gait, and flexibility.

• I may recommend imaging or specific movement tests to get to the root cause.

• Together, we’ll craft a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, goals, and unique foot health needs.

Custom Treatment, Modern Solutions for All Ages

Your care plan could include:

• Gentle stretching and strengthening regimens

• Footwear recommendations or modifications

• Custom orthotics to correct alignment and relieve pressure

• Advanced treatments like laser therapy, taping, or regenerative options

• For kids, guidance on activity modification—not stopping what they love, but supporting safe, healthy participation

• Thorough follow-up care to ensure lasting results
