HEEL PAIN
WHAT IS A HEEL PAIN?
A common foot condition. It's usually felt as an intense pain when using the affected heel. It usually builds up gradually and gets worse over time.
The pain is often severe and occurs when you place weight on your heel. Some people may limp or develop an abnormal walking style as they try to avoid placing weight on the affected heel.
People who run or jog regularly, and older adults who are 40-60 years of age, are the two main groups affected by heel pain.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT FOOT CARE WLA
THE BEST IN THE
LOS ANGELES AREA
"I had some surgery for a minor skin cancer on my ankle which became infected and created a wound that would not heal. After a month of trying, the surgeon sent me to Dr. J. Knudson. He has many years of experience with stubborn cases. Gradually he used various forms of treatment until I was finally cured. How fortunate I was to have found him. I am now back to my previous activity and health. They deserve more than 5 stars."
