Haglund's Deformity

Haglund's deformity, commonly referred to as "pump bump," is a painful condition characterized by a bony enlargement on the back of the heel. This condition often results from wearing shoes with rigid backs that irritate the heel. At Acacia Foot and Ankle Surgeons, led by the experienced Dr. Kaveh Panahi, we offer a variety of effective treatments to alleviate pain and correct the structural issues related to Haglund's deformity.

Comprehensive Treatment Options for Haglund's Deformity

Home or Professional Physical Therapy for Haglund's Deformity: Our tailored physical therapy programs are designed to strengthen and stretch the foot and ankle muscles, significantly reducing heel pressure and enhancing mobility. Techniques such as ultrasound therapy and soft-tissue massage are integrated to decrease inflammation and improve comfort.

Custom Orthotics: Dr. Kaveh Panahi recommends custom orthotics to correct foot alignment and distribute weight evenly, thus relieving pressure on the heel. Our custom shoe inserts are specifically designed to cushion your heel and prevent further irritation from Haglund's deformity. Learn more about custom orthtoics. 

Steroid Injections: For intense pain and inflammation associated with Haglund's deformity, Dr. Panahi may administer corticosteroid injections. These injections are highly effective at quickly reducing inflammation and providing relief from acute discomfort.

Surgical Solutions by Dr. Kaveh Panahi: In cases where non-surgical treatments are insufficient, Dr. Panahi offers advanced surgical options to reduce the bony enlargement and address soft tissue irritation. Each surgical plan is customized based on the patient's specific needs and foot anatomy, ensuring optimal outcomes.
