Haglund's heel, also called Haglund's deformity or Haglund's disease, causes pain at the back of the heel where the Achilles tendon attachment meets the heel bone. If you are looking for solutions to relieve pain and restore function to your foot, we offer a wide range of assistive devices and orthopaedic products that can effectively relieve symptoms and support the healing process.
What causes Haglund's heel?
This condition often occurs due to:
-
Overuse or repeated strain of the Achilles tendon during activities such as running, jumping training or long periods of standing.
-
Improper footwear, especially hard shoes or high-heeled shoes, which cause pressure on the heel cup and irritation to the Achilles tendon attachment.
-
Genetics that cause some people to have a congenital bulge on the heel bone, which increases the risk of developing Haglund's heel.
Symptoms of Haglund's heel
The most common symptoms include:
-
Bump on the heel, which may be visible or felt at the back of the heel.
- Pain and swelling in the area where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone.
- Increased pain with strain or pressure from shoes that cause irritation to the area.
- Soreness in the heel with movement or contact with hard surfaces.
