If you’re tired of living with persistent heel pain, relief can be found at Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group – a division of Florida Medical Clinic. Catering to residents of the Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, Florida, areas since 1949, our clinic can be your first choice for exceptional orthopedic care.
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, walking one mile places 60 tons of stress on each foot – so it’s no surprise that heel discomfort is such a common complaint. This pain is usually categorized into one of two types:
- Pain beneath the heel, which describes an uncomfortable sensation on the bottom of your heel. It is often caused by tissue inflammation as a result of a heel spur, stone bruise, or plantar fasciitis.
- Pain behind the heel, which describes discomfort that affects the area where the Achilles tendon meets the heel bone. It is often caused by retrocalcaneal bursitis, overuse, or irritation from ill-fitting shoes.
No matter the source of your pain, you can count on the board-certified physicians at Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group to provide comprehensive diagnostics and treatment. Our practice is led by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine specialist Dr. Arnold Ramirez – two highly experienced professionals who utilize advanced regenerative medicines, non-invasive treatments, and surgical techniques to minimize heel discomfort and restore function.
Contact Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group today to schedule a consultation with one of our physicians, who will be happy to evaluate your heel pain and outline your treatment options.
