Heel Pain/ Arch Pain

Heel pain is very common and can be quite painful and debilitating.

Some of the common causes of heel pain are:

• Heel spurs
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendonosis
• Heel bursitis
• Arthritis
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome

An assessment is required to determine the cause of the heel pain. Our Podiatrist is qualified to order X-rays and ultra sounds to help with the diagnosis. Heel pain can be due to a foot postural problem/bio-mechanical problem, dropped arches, or an overuse and repetitive trauma.

There are several ways of treating heel pain, which usually involves a stretching regime, orthoses, paddings, and footwear education.

For best recovery results, have your heel pain diagnosed and treated as soon as possible to prevent chronic heel pain.  Book an appointment today.
