Overview

Heel Pain Treatment | Achilles Tendon Pain & Back of Heel Pain Relief

Expert Care for Heel Pain During Walking, Running & Daily Activities

Heel pain is a very common condition that can affect both the bottom and back of the heel. While plantar fasciitis causes pain under the heel, pain at the back of the heel is often due to Achilles tendinopathy or retrocalcaneal bursitis.

At our Pain Management Centre, we provide accurate diagnosis and targeted non-surgical treatment for heel pain, focusing on early recovery and long-term prevention.

What Causes Back of Heel Pain?

Achilles Tendinopathy

This occurs due to overuse or degeneration of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel.

Common Symptoms

Pain at the back of the heel

Pain during walking, running, or climbing stairs

Morning stiffness

Tenderness over the tendon

Pain increasing with activity

Retrocalcaneal Bursitis

This condition involves inflammation of the fluid-filled cushion (bursa) between the Achilles tendon and heel bone.

Symptoms

Swelling at the back of the heel

Pain while wearing tight footwear

Tenderness and redness

Pain during ankle movement

Why Heel Pain Persists

Tight calf muscles

Improper footwear

Repetitive strain (running, sports)

Sudden increase in activity

Poor biomechanics

Effective treatment focuses on reducing strain and promoting healing.

Footwear Correction (Very Important)

What Helps

Soft, cushioned footwear

Avoiding tight or rigid shoes

Heel support or slight elevation

Proper sports footwear

Correct footwear reduces stress on the Achilles tendon.

Essential for Recovery

Calf stretching exercises

Eccentric strengthening of Achilles tendon

Ankle mobility training

Gradual return to activity

Physiotherapy helps restore strength and prevent recurrence.

When pain persists, targeted treatments help accelerate recovery.

Regenerative Therapy (PRP)

PRP can be used in selected cases of chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
