When to Visit a Podiatrist
If your heel pain persists even when you are sitting down, you should visit a podiatrist. Sometimes you may even have heel pain that lasts several weeks. You should visit a podiatrist during this type of situation as well.
If your heel pain is severe and includes swelling, you should schedule an immediate appointment with your doctor. Other emergency situations include the inability to walk normally or numbness in your heel.
Your podiatrist will suggest various kinds of treatments depending on the diagnosis. They may suggest refraining from the activities that caused the heel injury, performing special exercises to help strengthen your heel and Achilles tendon, wearing open-back shoes, or taking pain medication.
