healthy body tips

Whatever the cause, these suggestions from the U.S. National Library of Medicine may help ease your heel pain:

• Rest your feet for at least a week.
• Apply ice to the sore heel, twice a day for about 10 or 15 minutes at a time.
• Take over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen, to ease inflammation and pain.
• Wear shoes that fit correctly.
• Place an orthotic, heel cup or felt padding in the heel of your shoe.
• Work with a physical therapist to help prevent the injury from recurring.
