Heel Pain (Haglund’s Deformity)

A bony enlargement at the back of the heel that can irritate surrounding tissues and the Achilles tendon, often causing pain and swelling.

Tendon Irritation and Overuse Injuries

Repetitive stress and excessive activity can lead to inflammation and irritation of the tendons around the foot and ankle, resulting in pain and reduced mobility.
