Symptoms Of Haglunds Deformity And Our Treatment Options
Any kind of abnormal foot condition can be a cause for concern, and it is important that you seek treatment if you are experiencing foot pain or other symptoms. Haglunds Deformity can be uncomfortable and may be described as intense pain in the heel. This condition arises when a lump develops from the heel rubbing. This bony bump can cause corns, blisters, or calluses on the heel, especially if the shoes are not supportive or properly fit.

Haglunds Deformity
If you have a bony protrusion that has not resolved on its own or continues to grow in size, then we recommend seeing our foot doctor. It may be difficult to diagnose Haglunds Deformity on your own, as it could be mistaken for other heel conditions that cause pain. Your podiatrist can identify the root cause of your heel discomfort while giving you tips on how to relieve the pressure and pain. We can offer tips on how to reduce the symptoms you are experiencing. If your pain does not respond to home remedies or noninvasive methods, surgery may be required to treat this condition. If we recommend surgery, this tends to involve the heel bone being reshaped. To have your questions answered about Haglunds Deformity, reach out to our clinic today!
There are many treatment approaches that we may use to take care of a Haglunds Deformity. We may suggest placing heel pads on the backs of your shoes to relieve a sense of pressure. Icing the area after removing your shoes can ease some pain and discomfort. Open-heeled shoes can provide support and reduce pressure that shoes apply onto the heel area. If your symptoms persist despite noninvasive and home remedies, or the bump increases in size, then it is time to meet with our doctor. We can carefully evaluate the area and create a care plan that tailors to your needs.
