If you want to treat runner's heel pain and keep running, you have to make sure that you understand the exact cause of the problem. The fact is most cases of runner's heel pain are caused by plantar fasciitis. But NOT all heel pain is plantar fasciitis. In fact, if you think you have plantar fasciitis but you actually have a different condition causing your heel pain you could waste months on the incorrect treatment regimen. Before you start any home treatment, make sure you understand the various causes such as plantar fasciitis, partial rupture of the plantar fasciitis, stress fracture, and nerve entrapment.
