“…Piezogenic papules are often seen in people who are overweight or obese, as excess body fat can put extra pressure on the fascia and cause the fat to protrude through the tissue. They are also more common in people who engage in activities that involve a lot of running or jumping, as the impact on the heels can cause the fat to herniate [27].…”

“…However, if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your heels, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the cause and discuss treatment options. In some cases, piezogenic papules may be a sign of underlying issues with the feet, such as flat feet or high arches, which can lead to discomfort and other problems if left untreated [26,27]. There is no specific treatment for piezogenic papules, and they often resolve on their own over time.…”

Foot pain (FP) is widespread throughout the population, with prevalence estimates ranging from 17 to 30%, while a comprehensive study found that more than one-quarter of people over the age of 45 have regular hindfoot pain (HP). HP has been linked to limitations in daily living activities, poor balance, gait issues, and poor health-related quality of life. According to studies, at least two-thirds of people have moderate functional daily living issues. Aging, female gender, obesity, chronic medical conditions (such as osteoarthritis and diabetes), biomechanical factors (excessive external rotation of the lower extremity, increased pronation of the subtalar joint, plantar flexor weakness, Achilles tendon shortening), and anatomical changes (pes planus, pes cavus) have all been identified as risk factors for HP. People with HP have bone and soft-tissue overload, foot anatomic disorders, and a decreased range of motion (especially ankle dorsiflexion). There are several hindfoot pathologies that can lead to HP. The aim of this study is to overview the pathologies of the hindfoot that cause hindfoot pain.
