When I get up after when I was sitting down or when I have been asleep. I feel a sharp pain in the centre of my heel. This is a common comment one would get from a person suffering from heel pain, a sharp pain on the heel especially when they wake up. Heel pain is inflammation of a bone at the bottom of the foot towards the heel (planta fascia). Inflammation tends to occur in individuals with excess abnormal stress to the heel for example in overweight individuals. Heel pain can be treated by firstly losing weight, getting adequate rest and the use of Footlogics orthotics which supports the arches but also controls the undesirable over- pronation.
