Haglund’s Deformity (also known as pump bump or retrocalcaneal bursitis) is a painful enlargement on the back of the heel bone that becomes irritated by shoes. It normally appears as a red, painful, and swollen area in the back of the heel bone. Women tend to develop the condition more than men because of irritation from rigid heel counters in shoes that rub up and down on the back of the heel bone.

Changing shoes, soaking feet, and anti-inflammatory medications often mitigate the symptoms of this problem. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.

TESTIMONIAL

I visited Laurel Foot and Ankle Center and was very impressed with the service that I received. The wait time was only 10 minutes. The front desk staff and the doctors were very friendly and professional. My feet feel so much better. I will recommend this Podiatrist Office to my friends and family.
