Heel Pain: Path to Relief and Mobility
What Is Heel Pain or What Causes It?
Heel pain, commonly experienced in Leeds, can manifest as discomfort in the heel or arch area and may even affect the big toe. It’s often felt when standing, walking, or getting out of bed, and may appear as acute pain in the morning that eases but returns later.

Typical symptoms include pain under the heel or in the arch, often intensifying with first steps in the morning or after prolonged standing or walking.
