Heel Pain Explained: Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spur & When to See a Doctor | Dr Snehal Panchal

Does your heel hurt the most with the first step out of bed? In this video, Dr Snehal Panchal explains why morning heel pain is common and why it is not always due to a “heel spur.” Learn about plantar fascia-related heel pain, common risk factors like prolonged standing, sudden increase in activity, poor footwear and calf tightness, and why proper diagnosis matters before choosing treatment. Dr Panchal also discusses when physiotherapy, stretching, strengthening, footwear changes, medication, or specialist pain-management evaluation may be considered—and when you should not ignore persistent heel pain. #HeelPain #PlantarFasciitis #HeelSpur #PainManagement #FootPain
