Heel Pain Specialists

Laredo Family Foot Center knows that your heel plays a key role in mobility and also holds a lot of stress with each step. With 25 years of experience, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the different causes of pain that can affect your heel. We use the latest equipment for non-surgical methods. We believe for most heel issues if caught early physical therapy and rehabilitation work best. If this isn't successful, which is very rare, we will look at the best surgical options for you. 
We want to make sure that you are comfortable and educated on your condition. Dr. Bell will explain in detail what you can do to help treat and prevent further injury to your heels. For more information give us a call today at (956) 712-FEET (3338).
