Heel pain is a very common foot problem that can interfere with your normal activities. Pain may be felt on the bottom of the heel, just behind the heel or in the arch of the foot.

Often, this type of pain comes on gradually and is usually worse in the morning upon arising. Wearing flat shoes also have been found to trigger the pain.

You can use some home remedies and incorporate certain lifestyle changes to ease your symptoms. If your heel pain becomes severe and you have difficulty even taking a step, consult your doctor or a podiatrist.
