3 Home Remedies For Heel Pain Treatment
Heel pain is a condition commonly caused by plantar fasciitis. This condition occurs when the tissue that runs from your heels to your toes becomes inflamed. The fascia becomes irritated, which causes you pain. Heel pain can also be due to tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or fractures. This condition is common among runners or people whose work involves standing for many hours. Also, if you have overly flat or high-arched feet, you may experience heel pain frequently.

Keep Rolling Your Ankle? See A Specialist
Most people roll their ankles at least once or twice in their life. It's not unheard of to take a bad step or to slip sideways on a rock or piece of concrete.

In cases like this, there may be something more sinister causing you to roll your ankle.
