  • Title: Heel pain: diagnosis and treatment, step by step.
    Author: Alvarez-Nemegyei J, Canoso JJ.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2006 May; 73(5):465-71. PubMed ID: 16708714.
    Abstract:
    The differential diagnosis of heel pain is broad and can be overwhelming if a systematic approach is not used. Focused questions and physical examination can help identify heel pain as Achilles tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis, or as due to a less common cause such as gout, spondyloarthropathy, or hypercholesterolemia.
