Still dealing with heel pain even after stretching, changing shoes, and trying orthotics? It might not be plantar fasciitis. In this video, board-certified orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Saller breaks down 5 common conditions that mimic plantar fasciitis — including heel pad atrophy, calcaneal stress fracture, Baxter’s nerve entrapment, posterior tibial tendinopathy, and S1 nerve impingement.
You’ll learn how to tell the difference between these causes of heel pain, what to look for on exam or imaging, and how treatment changes for each one — so you can get to the right diagnosis and the right treatment faster.
✅ Understand why your “plantar fasciitis” might not be plantar fasciitis
✅ Learn the key differences between heel pain conditions
✅ Discover what treatments actually work for each cause
If your heel pain won’t go away, this video will help you figure out why — and what to do next.

Saw an Ortho PA who diagnosed me in 2 mins with PF 🙄
The pain hurts in heel and slightly to the inside of my arch.
My ins co will not pay for an MRI.
I'd like a proper diagnosis but not sure I'll actually get one.
The podiatrist took x-rays and there was a bone spur on my right foot where the pain is presented. The doctor also rubbed her finger down the side of my foot right below my big toe and the more pressure she put on it the more pain.. Would that be a combination of both PF and nerve entrapment?
But it is affecting my daily life and i am just 29 years old man.
And i reckon it could be problem 1 or 2 that you explained in video. But how i can treat this?
Pain remains.. and my insurance will not pay a mri😭

I'm a board-certified orthopedic foot & ankle surgeon, and I put my 5 favorite plantar fasciitis exercises into a free guide — with a week-by-week progression to keep you accountable. It's the same approach I use with patients before we ever talk injections or surgery:
