Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints and is often caused by plantar fasciitis—inflammation or degeneration of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs under the foot. This condition can make everyday activities uncomfortable, with pain typically worse in the morning or after long periods of rest.
Common Symptoms include:
-
Sharp, stabbing heel pain
-
Pain that is worse first thing in the morning or after sitting for long periods
-
Discomfort after standing or walking for extended periods
-
Pain that may ease with movement but returns with overuse
Treatments We Provide:
-
Custom orthotics or off-the-shelf supports – to provide arch support and relieve pressure on the heel.
-
Stretching and strengthening programs – targeting the plantar fascia, calves, and supporting muscles.
-
Shockwave therapy – effective for stubborn, chronic cases of heel pain.
-
Footwear recommendations and activity modification – ensuring proper support during daily life, work, or sport.
-
Pain management techniques – including manual therapy, ice therapy, and medication advice when suitable.
