Why Heel Pain Lingers
Most heel pain is plantar fasciitis, but not all of it - it can also come from the heel bone, the fat pad, a nerve, or the Achilles insertion. Treatment that isn't matched to the actual cause is why heel pain so often drags on for months.
We start by pinning down the diagnosis, then work through a staged plan. Simple measures first; and where those aren't enough, we escalate to advanced therapies we deliver in-house - so you're not left doing calf stretches indefinitely with no progress.
How We Treat It
Depending on your diagnosis and how long it's been present, the plan may include:
Loading & rehab
targeted strengthening and load management, the backbone of recovery
Orthoses & footwear
offloading the painful structure and correcting contributing mechanics
Shockwave therapy
for stubborn, chronic cases that haven't responded to first-line care
Injection therapy
ultrasound-guided injections where inflammation is blocking progress

Heel Pain Treatment FAQs
The questions patients ask us most about heel pain treatment.
Is my heel pain plantar fasciitis?
It often is, but not always - and that matters, because other causes need different treatment. Our first job is an accurate diagnosis so we're treating the right thing.
I've tried stretching and rest - why hasn't it worked?
Rest and stretching alone rarely resolve stubborn heel pain, because they don't address the load and mechanics driving it. A staged plan - loading, offloading, and advanced therapy if needed - is far more effective.
How long will it take to get better?
Many cases improve over several weeks with the right plan, though long-standing heel pain can take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeframe once we've assessed how chronic and severe it is.
Will I need shockwave or injections?
Not necessarily. Many people improve with loading, orthoses and footwear changes. We reserve shockwave and injections for cases that genuinely need them - and it's reassuring to know they're available in-house if they do.
