Why Heel Pain Demands Immediate Attention
Heel pain is never “just something you have to live with.” The most common cause is plantar fasciitis, but other sources include heel spurs, Achilles tendon injuries, or nerve entrapments. At Preferred Foot & Ankle, Dr. Peter Kemp and Dr. Jeff Korab diagnose heel pain precisely and deliver proven treatments that restore mobility and comfort.
The Most Common Causes of Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis leads the list of heel pain causes. This inflamed tissue band triggers stabbing heel pain, especially during those first steps in the morning.
How Dr. Kemp and Dr. Korab Treat Heel Pain
Conservative Care Comes First
Dr. Kemp and Dr. Korab prescribe custom orthotics, supportive shoes, bracing, stretching routines, and physical therapy to reduce strain and accelerate healing.
Surgical Solutions for Lasting Relief
When conservative care doesn’t resolve heel pain, Dr. Kemp and Dr. Korab perform minimally invasive procedures. They may release the plantar fascia or correct heel spurs to restore pain-free mobility.
Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
- Sharp pain with your first steps in the morning
- Heel pain that intensifies after standing or walking
- Swelling or redness near the heel
- Pain that continues for weeks despite rest
- Burning or tingling under the heel
If you notice these symptoms, schedule an appointment. Dr. Kemp and Dr. Korab identify the exact cause and resolve it before it becomes a chronic condition.
