Heel Pain Treatment At Hackney Podiatry & Health
A common cause of heel pain is damage to parts of the tissues on the bottom of the foot, resulting in pain and sometimes swelling. The band of tissue from your heel to your toes is your plantar fascia – so this pain is sometimes known as plantar fasciitis.
Heel pain often feels worst first thing in the morning or after rest and can limit walking, work and exercise. Early assessment helps prevent chronic pain and prolonged recovery.
Our Podiatrists can diagnose your condition and advise on reducing pain and restoring the tissues to their full health. They can provide a treatment plan including offloading, perhaps with insoles or orthotics, and the correct strengthening exercises.
At Hackney Podiatry & Health we also offer Shockwave Therapy – an evidence-based treatment that can significantly reduce pain, stimulate tissue repair and cell growth, and accelerate healing. Evidence suggests that 6 sessions yields best outcomes, and we offer pricing packages for a course of Shockwave Therapy sessions in our Hackney clinic, or you can pay as you go.
