  3. What is a Haglund’s Deformity? • A Haglund’s Deformity is a bony prominence that develops on the back of your heel bone where the Achilles Tendon inserts. It is also known as RetrocalcanealExostosis and can cause pain and discomfort. This deformity can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, foot structure, tight calf muscles, and wearing poorly fitting shoes. It is more commonly seen in women due to their tendency to wear high-heeled shoes. If you have a Haglund’s Deformity, you may experience swelling, redness, and tenderness at the bony prominence. It can also lead to friction and irritation of the skin, causing blisters or calluses to form.

  4. Treatment for Haglund’s Deformity depends on the severity of your symptoms. In mild cases, simple home remedies such as wearing open-backed shoes and using heel pads can provide relief by reducing pressure on the bony prominence. In more severe cases, your doctor may recommend physical therapy to stretch tight calf muscles and strengthen surrounding muscles to alleviate symptoms.
