Our Heel Pain Treatments

Our heel pain treatment service includes in-depth assessments and targeted therapies aimed at addressing the root cause of discomfort and promoting long-term relief.

Comprehensive Heel Assessments: We conduct thorough evaluations of the heel and surrounding areas to diagnose the cause of pain, whether due to plantar fasciitis, heel spurs or another issue. This approach enables precise treatment planning.
Customised Treatment Plans: Based on your diagnosis, we create a personalised plan that may include stretches, exercises, or other therapies tailored to relieve heel pain. Our treatments focus on gradual pain reduction and restoring mobility.
Orthotics for Heel Support: Custom orthotics provide additional heel support, alleviating strain and redistributing pressure. These are especially beneficial for patients with plantar fasciitis or heel spurs who require added cushioning.
Manual Therapy and Exercises: Targeted exercises and gentle manual therapies help relieve pain and promote healing. This can reduce tension in the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon and other affected areas.
Guidance for Home Care: We provide advice on at-home practices, such as stretching and strengthening exercises to help maintain the results of your treatment. Ongoing care at home supports long-term heel health and prevents recurring pain.

Who Can Benefit from Heel Pain Treatment?

Heel pain treatment is beneficial for individuals experiencing discomfort or limited mobility due to heel issues. Here’s how treatment can support different scenarios:

Those with Persistent Heel Pain: Ongoing heel pain can impact daily life and limit activities. Treatment offers targeted relief, reducing pain and promoting better movement.
Individuals Diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis causes significant heel pain, especially in the morning. Tailored treatments help alleviate strain on the plantar fascia, supporting a more comfortable lifestyle.
People with Heel Spurs: Heel spurs often result in sharp pain during movement. With the right support and therapies, patients can manage pain and reduce inflammation effectively.
Active Individuals Experiencing Heel Strain: High-impact activities can place stress on the heel, leading to overuse injuries. Treatment helps alleviate this strain, improving comfort and endurance for daily or sports-related activities.
Anyone Struggling with Tendonitis: Tendonitis around the heel causes discomfort and may worsen without care. Podiatry treatments focus on reducing inflammation, supporting recovery and preventing further issues.
