Halgund's Deformity

Relieving Pain at the Back of the Heel

Specialized Treatment for Haglund’s Deformity

Haglund’s deformity, often referred to as “pump bump,” is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel that can cause irritation, swelling, and pain where the Achilles tendon attaches. It often develops from wearing stiff or tight shoes, repetitive heel pressure, or having a high-arched foot structure. Without proper care, the irritation can lead to bursitis or chronic inflammation around the tendon.

At Foot & Ankle Associates, LLC, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent further irritation. Our podiatrists assess your foot structure and footwear habits to determine the most effective approach. Treatment may include shoe modifications, heel lifts, custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory therapy, or physical therapy to reduce pressure and improve flexibility. In persistent cases, surgical correction may be recommended to remove the bony prominence.



Our goal is to reduce pain, restore comfort, and prevent recurrence by addressing both the deformity and its contributing factors. With personalized care and supportive guidance, we help you return to pain-free movement and everyday activities.
