Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common issue that can disrupt your daily life, but at Elevate Podiatry, we specialise in diagnosing and treating it to get you back on your feet—pain-free.

What causes heel pain?

Heel pain often stems from conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, bursitis, or stress fractures. Our team takes a personalised approach to uncover the root cause, using advanced diagnostic tools like imaging studies when necessary.

How we treat heel pain?

Our tailored treatment plans combine proven strategies to provide effective relief:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Comprehensive evaluation and biomechanical assessments to pinpoint the cause of pain.
• Rest and Recovery: Guidance on rest and ice therapy to reduce inflammation and pain.
• Targeted Exercises: Referrals for physical therapy to stretch and strengthen muscles and tendons.
• Custom Orthotics: Bespoke insoles to support your arches, improve foot biomechanics, and reduce heel pressure.
• Footwear Advice: Recommendations for supportive shoes with cushioning to ease heel strain.
• Medication and Injections: Anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroid injections for severe cases.
• Heel Cups and Padding: Extra cushioning to absorb shock and relieve heel pressure.

Your comfort is our priority! We also educate you on proper foot care techniques, including stretching exercises and lifestyle adjustments, to prevent future discomfort.
