CONDITIONS & TREATMENTS

HAGLUND’S DEFORMITY

Haglund’s Deformity is an enlargement of the bony section of your heel where the Achilles tendon is located, often leading to bursitis.

Haglund's Deformity

CAUSES

High arches in the foot
Over-pronation
Tight calf muscles
Stiff shoes

SYMPTOMS

Severe pain where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel
Swelling of the bursa
Bony bump on the back of your heel

TREATMENT

Haglund’s Deformity may be treated conservatively with shoe gear modifications, custom orthotics, physical therapy and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen or aspirin). In many instances conservative treatments are unsuccessful and surgical intervention is required. In such instances the surgeon will remove the excess bone from your heel.

Custom orthotics are biomechanical medical devices that are custom made and designed to stabilize the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position to correct foot imbalances.
