Heel bumps are a common cause of pain at the back of the foot. They often appear as a hard lump near the heel and may become painful when wearing shoes or walking. Patients usually begin searching for heel bumps treatment when the area becomes swollen, irritated, or difficult to ignore.
One of the most common types of heel bump is known as Haglund’s deformity. This develops when there is an enlargement of the bone at the back of the heel.
The bump can rub against shoes and irritate the Achilles tendon, leading to pain and swelling. Tight footwear and high heels often make the problem worse.
Heel bumps treatment depends on the cause and severity of the condition. In many cases, simple changes can provide significant relief.
Wearing shoes with a softer back or open heel can reduce pressure on the bump. Ice and anti-inflammatory medication may help reduce swelling.
Physiotherapy can also be useful, particularly if the Achilles tendon is affected. Stretching exercises improve flexibility and reduce strain on the heel.
If symptoms continue, shockwave therapy or injections may be recommended.
In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the bony bump and reduce irritation.
