Diagnosis and treatment of heel pain.
The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAC) clinical practice guideline (CPG) summarizes the literature on the assessment and diagnosis of heel pain. The framework classifies heel pain depending on whether the cause is mechanical, neurological, arthritic, traumatic, or from another origin. Treatment strategies are included for the most common form of heel pain that are caused by mechanical problems.
