Foot & Heel Pain

Why do my feet hurt?

Your feet deal with extremely high loads. They are the base structure that supports your entire body, so it makes sense that their health is extremely important to your overall wellbeing.

Your feet are complex things; a quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet, along with more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Self-diagnosis of the cause of your foot or heel pain is not recommended; leave that to us.

foot-heal-pain-main

Colin and the team will assess your feet, address the problem, then provide the correct diagnosis, supported by a well-structured, easy-to-manage treatment plan.

Assessment

From the moment you step into our rooms, we begin to assess you by simply analysing your gait and comfort levels. Consultation will consider your level of pain and movement range, your age, size, any relevant medical conditions, lifestyle, activity requirements, and your desired outcome.

Physical Exam

To provide a complete diagnosis, we conduct a physical exam testing the range of motion, pain levels and physical appearance of the skin.

Referrals

To complete the diagnosis, if required, we may refer you to a specialist.

Common causes of heel pain

  • Ligament pain caused from too much pressure on your feet
    • Plantar fasciitis, involving the ligament that connects heel to the front of your foot. It supports the arch of your foot and helps you walk.
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Muscle strain
  • Fractures

Treatment solutions

  • Night splints
  • Moon boots
  • Bracing
  • Orthotic footwear
  • Rehabilitation stretches and exercises

Ignoring pain is never a good idea. If you develop chronic heel pain it can change the way you walk and cause injury to your legs, knees, hips and back.
