Heel Pain On The Rise Among Long Islanders Sheltering In Place

All of our Advanced Podiatry offices have had many reports of heel and arch pain from patients stuck at home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Nonsuportive footwear - or lack of footwear - may be to blame for the upsurge in cases. Adults are shifting routines and adapting to new working environments; and it’s easy to neglect proper care and support of their feet.
 
The top priority when treating heel and arch pain, is to reduce the mechanical strain on the plantar fascia, often with custom foot orthotics, splints for stretching, and supportive footwear. Most cases of heel pain respond well to conservative (nonsurgical) treatment, including anti-inflammatory measures and stretching. However, our expert podiatrists at Advanced Podiatry of Manhasset, Huntington, Plainview, and Maspeth are well trained to provide advanced, cutting edge treatments, including EPAT therapy, ultrasound guided injection therapy, and surgical intervention for more complex cases.
 
Foot and heel pain is never normal, so see one of our expert podiatrists at Advanced Podiatry of Manhasset, Huntington, Plainview, and Maspeth right away.
