Heel Pain Treatment

Relieve Discomfort and Restore Comfort with Expert Foot Care

At Cortez Foot & Ankle Specialists, we offer personalized treatment plans for heel pain, with a focus on long-term relief and prevention. One of the most common causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, a condition caused by inflammation of the thick tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes. This condition can result in stabbing or aching pain, especially in the morning or after long periods of inactivity. Whether your heel pain stems from overuse, poor footwear, gait issues, or a related condition such as tight calf muscles or flat feet, our experienced podiatrists are here to help.



We begin with a thorough evaluation and conservative treatment, including rest, ice, stretching exercises, and supportive footwear. In many cases, custom orthotics, night splints, or physical therapy can correct the issue without the need for invasive procedures. For persistent or severe pain, advanced options like cortisone injections or imaging-guided diagnostics may be recommended. Our goal is to get you walking comfortably again with the right care tailored to your condition, activity level, and lifestyle needs.


We welcome patients at our convenient locations in University Park, Ellenton, and Bradenton, Florida.
