CONDITIONS AND TREATMENTS
FAT PAD THINING
Fat pad thinning is probably the easiest of the various heel pain conditions to treat. Some of the more common causes include...age, arthritis, and even shoe type. Using a solid gel heel cushion may resolve the problem quickly. However, if the pain persists, x-rays are often needed to check for heel spurs at which time custom orthotics(shoe inserts) may be required.
