ABSTRACTThe differential diagnosis of heel pain is broad and can be overwhelming if a systematic approach is not used. Focused questions and physical examination can help identify heel pain as Achilles tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis, or as due to a less common cause such as gout, spondyloarthropathy, or hypercholesterolemia.
