Diagnosis and care

How we treat heel pain, arch pain, and morning heel pain in Nashville.

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We start by asking when the pain hits and where it sits. Then we press on the heel and arch, check how your foot moves, and look at how you walk. X-rays can show the heel bone, and ultrasound or MRI may be used if a tendon or soft tissue problem is suspected.

Step 2 · Treatment

Most heel and arch pain improves without surgery. Stretching the calf and the arch, wearing supportive shoes, and cutting back on the activity that flares it are good first steps. We may add taping, custom orthotics, physical therapy, or shockwave therapy. Injections are sometimes used for stubborn pain.

Surgery is rarely needed and is only considered when months of good non-surgical care have not helped. The type of procedure depends on what is causing the pain.

FAQ

Your questions answered.

Why does my heel hurt most when I first get up?

Tissue in the foot tightens while you rest, so the first steps pull on sore spots. The pain often eases as the foot warms up.

Should I keep walking on a painful heel?

Gentle activity is usually fine, but pushing through sharp pain can make things worse. A podiatrist can tell you what level of activity is safe.
