Anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, or other treatments tailored for patients may be necessary.Preparation and recognition of warning signs can help prevent or reduce the severity of heel pain.Supportive shoes are a must, but it’s not always obvious when to switch shoes or adapt them for the best fit. Consider these guidelines:• Use inserts to raise the heel, especially in flat-footed cleats• Discard shoes that caused pain.  Don’t use them for another sport• Wear well-constructed shoes designed for specific sports• Switch cleats often because they are not supportive shoes.Don’t skip warm-up or cool-down exercises.HOPE THAT HELPS.
