A New Minimally Invasive Treatment For Haglund's Disease

Haglund’s Deformity is a condition caused by a prominent bump on the back of the heel at the area of the Achilles tendon.

This "pump bump", so named because it's common in women who wear high-heeled shoes, can cause great pain and discomfort.

Treatment

• Mild cases can be treated with:
  • Ice
  • Compression
  • Change of shoe-wear
  • Foot orthotics
  • Cortisone injections in this area are not recommended because the chance of rupture of the Achilles tendon is high
• In many cases where the bone is enlarged surgical excision is required
