Wearing shoes that put too much pressure on the back of the heel, which causes inflammation, most often causes Haglund\u2019s deformity according to New York City podiatrists, Dr. Gary Evans and Dr. James Korponay.<\/p>\n<p>If left untreated, Haglund\u2019s deformity can lead to bursitis\u2014which is an inflammation of the fluid-filled sac that separates the tendon from the bone. When the heel becomes inflamed, it can actually calcify the heel bone and cause the bump to become more prominent. When this happens, pain becomes more noticeable and basic foot function could be affected.<\/p>\n<h3>Causes of Haglund\u2019s Deformity<\/h3>\n<p>As its other name \u201cpump bump\u201d implies, the rigid backs of \u201cpump-style\u201d shoes usually causes Haglund\u2019s deformity in New York City and Whitestone, New York (among other areas). These shoes create pressure that aggravates the growth during normal activities, like walking.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to poor shoe choice, these factors can also contribute to the formation of Haglund\u2019s deformity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Having a high-arched foot<\/li>\n<li>Having a tight Achilles tendon<\/li>\n<li>Poor walking mechanics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to not ignore Haglund\u2019s deformity in the areas, so please visit our podiatry office for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Haglund\u2019s Deformity Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p>Most cases of Haglund\u2019s deformity are very painful\u2014especially in the area where the growth is located on the heel. Other common symptoms of Haglund\u2019s deformity include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noticeable bump on the back of the heel<\/li>\n<li>Severe pain in the heel<\/li>\n<li>Swelling in the heel<\/li>\n<li>Redness or tenderness near the inflamed area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Diagnosis &amp; Treatment Options<\/h3>\n<p>Because its symptoms are so similar to those of other common foot conditions\u2014like arthritis\u2014Haglund\u2019s deformity can be difficult to diagnose. Your podiatrist in New York City and Whitestone, New York may be able to diagnose this condition based off the appearance of your heel\u2014although some cases require further diagnostic and imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Treating Haglund\u2019s deformity in Whitestone involves relieving pressure from the heel bone. This can be accomplished surgically or nonsurgically\u2014the treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms. For mild to moderate Haglund\u2019s deformity, the following non-surgical treatments may be performed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shoe changes<\/li>\n<li>NSAID pain-relievers<\/li>\n<li>Soft-tissue massage<\/li>\n<li>Custom orthotics<\/li>\n<li>Heel pads or cushions<\/li>\n<li>Anti-inflammatory injections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If non-surgical options are ineffective, your New York City and Whitestone, New York foot doctors may recommend a surgical procedure to relieve pressure from the heel bone. This can be done by removing excess bone from the heel or smoothing existing bone. These procedures are very effective in relieving pressure from the bone and surrounding soft-tissues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Haglund&#039;s Deformity Treatment in Manhattan &amp; Whitestone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you suffer from Haglund&#039;s deformity or other foot pain?
