Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
Understanding Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and the arch of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs from your heel bone to your toes, becomes inflamed or irritated.
This condition can affect anyone but is particularly prevalent among runners, people who are overweight, and those who wear shoes with inadequate support. Sometimes plantar fasciitis will resolve without treatment, but it can often be persistent and debilitating.
Treatment Options
At Feet and Motion we offer a comprehensive musculoskeletal / biomechanics assessment and gait analysis services to diagnose and treat pain and injury. Understanding the biomechanics of your feet and lower limbs is essential for identifying the root causes of pain or discomfort and preventing further injury.
If you have pain and/or injury, then book a biomechanics assessment and let us help you get back to doing what you love.
Advanced Treatment Options
Advanced Treatment Options for plantar fasciitis, Feet & Motion also offers a specialist digital gait analysis using our Footscan pressure plate analysis. This advanced technology can identify pressure points and abnormalities in your gait.
Based on these results, we can create custom orthotics designed to alleviate pressure and provide bespoke support. Additionally, we offer advanced treatments such as shockwave therapy and MLS laser therapy, to stimulate blood flow, kickstart the healing process, and reduce inflammation.
Patient Reviews
“I consulted Natalie after developing Plantar Fasciitis which was extraordinarily painful! She was very thorough in examining my foot, checking my posture and the way I walk. She prescribed orthotic inserts for my shoes, gave advice on footwear and also prescribed exercises to strengthen my feet and encourage healing. After a couple of consultations she also suggested a course of laser treatment to help my foot to heal more quickly. The improvement was marked and the extraordinary pain I’d been experiencing soon eased. Natalie was professional, friendly and kind throughout and I’d be very happy to recommend her.”
