Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people see a podiatrist, and one of the most treatable. If your first steps in the morning are sharp and painful, or your heels ache after standing, our podiatrists can find the cause and provide genuine, lasting relief.
Common causes of heel pain
- Plantar fasciitis, the most common cause of heel pain
- Heel spurs and fat-pad irritation
- Achilles tendinopathy at the back of the heel
- Arch strain and fallen arches
- Nerve-related heel pain
How we treat it
There is rarely a single fix for heel pain, so we combine treatments for the fastest, most durable result. Your plan may include hands-on therapy, stretching and strengthening, strapping, footwear advice, custom orthoses and, for persistent cases, shockwave therapy.
Most patients notice meaningful improvement within a few weeks of starting an active treatment plan, and we'll guide you through every stage so the pain doesn't return.
