BURSITIS HEEL PAIN. (Pain in the centre of the heel) Heel pain can also be caused due a condition called Bursitis which is constant irritation of  the heel's natural cushion (bursa). This can lead to additional pain at the back of the heel when the ankle is moved and there may be swelling on both sides of the Achilles tendon. Useful treatments for Heel bursitis are anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin and Ibuprofen ge l/ tablets. Cold ice-pack compresses can be useful in reducing any swelling. In conjunction to these treatments it is important to stabalise and protect the heel. Gel heel pads will help to let the inflamed bursa settle down, however in severe chronic cases sometimes the use of Cortisone injections may be indicated.               TEL: +44 (0)1294 550099 Monday to Friday 9.30am - 5pm GMT
