Is heel pain getting you down?
Being active people we understand the frustration of not being able to exercise due to heel pain. Heel pain is a debilitating condition and if not treated quickly and effectively can result in prolonged pain. We have developed treatment strategies to help reduce symptoms and get you back to your normal activities as soon as possible.
Why to so many treatments fail?
- To effectively treat your heel pain an accurate diagnoses is essential.
-
Not all heel pain is plantar fasciitis; for example nerve compression can mimic plantar fasciitis but requires a different management approach to standard plantar fasciitis.
- Correct diagnoses is essential as it will be linked to a specific management protocol.
Our treatment philosophy:
- Once we have established the correct diagnosis we initiate a treatment plan.
-
It is important to understand that plantar fasciitis is a degenerative condition as this changes the way it is managed.
-
The management plan requires two components, firstly off loading the stressed plantar fascia with orthotics , stretching and strengthening exercises and secondly repairing the damaged tissue with Shock wave therapy.
- Management plans will vary from person to person dependant on their individual requirements.
