Heel Pain

Heel Pain

The heel bone (calcaneus) is the largest of the 26 bones in the human foot. Heel pain can be the result of external forces—for example, pounding on hard surfaces while walking, running or jumping—or it can be a sign or symptom of another foot condition. Pain may occur in the front, back, or bottom of the heel.
