Do homeopathic medicines work for foot and heel pain?

No: If compared to pain-relieving medicines like tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin, homeopathic "medicines" would not work for relieving pain. The reason is homeopathic "medicines" are diluted out so much that only the "essence" of the original material (essentially none) remains. In real life, pain is very subjective, so a person can feel better after taking any "medicine" if he believes the "medicine" will help.

Depends on the cause: Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as, infection, tendonitis, arthritis, stress fracture, nerve irritation, retained foreign body, bone tumor, or a cyst. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

No: Pain in this area is almost always caused by inflammation in the sole of the foot due to walking and pressure. The syndrome is often called plantar fascitis. Homeopathc remedies, as in 'like cures like' or 'the law of infinitesimals, ' has no bearing in this treatment.
