Understanding Your Heel Pain
Heel pain is most commonly caused by excessive strain at the bottom or back of the heel, particularly where the plantar fascia or Achilles tendon attaches. Each step places significant force through the heel — often several times your body weight. When the foot lacks proper support or shock absorption, this repeated loading can irritate the surrounding tissues.
A Clinical Approach To Foot Pain
At FOOTLAB, we focus on how your heel is loading and absorbing force with every step — not just where it hurts. Our certified orthotists assess foot alignment, arch behavior, heel motion, and pressure distribution to understand why excess strain is occurring at the heel. When the heel absorbs force unevenly or lacks proper structural support, tension can build at the plantar fascia or Achilles insertion. By identifying these mechanical patterns, we design custom medical-grade orthotics that improve load distribution, enhance shock absorption, and support more controlled heel movement.
