Good Feet: Haglund’s Deformity
July 16th, 2008Haglund’s Deformity is a condition caused by a prominent bump on the posterior (back) aspect of the heel at the area of the Achilles tendon.
This “pump bump”, so named because it’s common in women who wear high-heeled shoes, can cause great pain and discomfort.
In mild cases, this inflammation and projection of bone at the back of the heel can be relieved with ice, compression, change of shoe gear, Achilles Heel pads, heel grip pads and orthotics.
