Our team of highly skilled and experienced podiatrists are dedicated to providing top-quality foot care to help you regain your comfort and mobility. Through our comprehensive approach, we aim to alleviate your pain and enhance your overall foot health and well-being.

Understanding Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common condition that can arise from various causes, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, or other trauma-related injuries. It can significantly affect your ability to walk, exercise, and perform everyday activities. Ignoring the pain or relying on temporary relief methods may exacerbate the issue in the long run.

Our Specialized Approach

At The Foot Practice, we pride ourselves on our specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating heel pain. Our team of podiatrists has in-depth knowledge and experience in dealing with a wide range of foot conditions within the Health & Medical, Podiatrists, and Foot Care categories.

Identifying the Root Cause

To provide you with the most effective treatment, we begin with a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause of your heel pain. Our podiatrists take the time to understand your medical history, assess your foot structure, and perform comprehensive diagnostic tests. By digging deeper into the problem, we can develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

Tailored Treatment Plans

Based on our findings, we create personalized treatment plans that ensure optimal results for each patient. Our focus is on utilizing evidence-based practices, state-of-the-art technology, and innovative therapies to provide you with the highest standard of care.

Effective Treatments for Heel Pain

When it comes to treating heel pain, The Foot Practice adopts a holistic approach that combines multiple strategies to maximize effectiveness. Here are some of the common treatments we offer:

1. Customized Orthotics

Our podiatrists may recommend customized orthotic devices to provide support, realign your foot, and alleviate pressure on the affected area. These orthotics are custom-made to fit your unique foot structure and distribute weight evenly, reducing the strain on your heels and enhancing overall foot function.

2. Physical Therapy

We offer specialized physical therapy programs designed to strengthen your foot muscles, improve flexibility, and correct any biomechanical issues that may contribute to heel pain. Our experienced therapists guide you through targeted exercises and stretches to alleviate pain and prevent future problems.

3. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

For patients with chronic heel pain, we provide Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) as a non-invasive treatment option. This procedure involves delivering low-energy shockwaves to the affected area, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and stimulating tissue regeneration. ESWT has proven to be highly effective in relieving stubborn heel pain.

4. Corticosteroid Injections

In certain cases where more conservative treatments don't provide sufficient relief, our podiatrists may recommend corticosteroid injections. These injections can effectively reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief, allowing you to regain mobility and engage in necessary rehabilitation exercises.

Prevention and Self-Care Tips

Alongside professional treatments, our team emphasizes the importance of proactive self-care and preventive measures. Here are some self-care tips to manage and prevent heel pain:

• Avoid walking barefoot on hard surfaces
• Wear supportive, properly fitted shoes
• Use ice packs to reduce inflammation
• Engage in low-impact exercises to maintain foot strength
• Stretch your calf and foot muscles regularly
• Maintain a healthy weight to minimize excessive stress on your feet
