Hi there,

I have a patient with heel pain that hasn't responded to the usual first line treatments. His pain is reproduced the most when he inverts and plantarflexes his foot.
I have been reading up on heel pain differential diagnosis and have come across Phalen's test. Apparently inversion and plantarflexion increases pressure within the porta pedis and therefore on the nerve. A positive Phalen's sign (numbness or pain) indicates nerve compression syndrome for the posterior tibial nerve or any of its branches.
My main reason for posting is to get a gauge as to whether this inversion / plantarflexion manoeuvre causing heel pain is commonly encountered.
Thanks
Rebecca
