When the heel bone is subjected to too much pressure in a short period of time, strain, subtle contusions or tears may occur, which in turn can lead to sterile inflammation and pain in the heel area. It may also be caused by trauma or infection in the heel area, and some are prone to heel pain because of inadequate preparation before exercise, when the body does not move away or is not conditioned to start exercising. In addition, it can also be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities, the arch of the foot becomes shallow and flat, which is commonly known as flat feet, which can cause heel pain. This can cause pain in the heel tip because the flat foot causes additional pressure on the Achilles tendon when walking. Then there are shoes that do not fit or excessive exercise, which can cause pain.
