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 have been a patient at Laurel Foot & Ankle Center for the past year and a half and felt that I could not have chosen a better group of doctors. I find their office to be very friendly and professional. I have never felt rushed and the doctors have always addressed all my problems in a timely manner. The wait time is the best I have ever seen, and my feet are the better for having chosen the team at Laurel Foot & Ankle Center. I would definitely recommend these awesome team of doctors and their very knowledgeable front office staff.
