Are you having problems with heel pain or discomfort?
There are several diagnoses directly related to pain in the heel that Dr. Gelia can help you with. Like general foot pain, heel pain can make walking extremely difficult, and can also make standing in one place for a long period of time unbearable.
Dr. Gelia and his staff can help with the following heel problems:
- Plantar Fasciitis—a fairly common heel problem that affects about 1 in 10 people at some point in their lives. It can be treated through
heat, ice, and stretching, but may require surgery in the most extreme cases.
- Heel Spur—if you suffer from pain because of a heel spur, there are several treatment methods we can use to help alleviate the pain and strengthen calf and lower leg muscles to take some of the stress from the bone.
- Achilles Heel—Achilles Heel injuries can be painful and cause serious problems if they’re not treated properly. Whether you need a simple support brace or surgery in extreme cases, Dr. Gelia can care for your Achilles Heel problems.
