Heel Pain

If you suffer from heel pain, Feetwise Footcare can give you advice to help you manage the problem. This will include advice on regular stretching exercises you can do at home and potentially involve applying strapping to your foot and provide orthoses (a splint or brace to support the foot). If you require further treatment, we will refer you to Theale Wellbeing Centre which offers Shockwave Therapy and/or injection therapy under ultrasound guidance.

Heel Pain can be extremely debilitating. There is more than one cause of heel pain, but the most common complaint is Plantar Fasciitis. This condition causes pain when you first get up in the morning and subsides after you have walked for a while but can often return after long periods of sitting.
