Heel Pain Treatment London
Expert Assessment & Treatment for Heel Pain
Heel pain can make walking, running and everyday activities uncomfortable, particularly when symptoms become persistent or keep returning.
At Finchley Foot Clinic, our experienced podiatrists assess the underlying cause of your heel pain rather than simply treating the area that hurts. Through clinical assessment and, where appropriate, advanced biomechanical and gait analysis, we can identify factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Whether your heel pain is related to plantar fasciitis, an overuse injury, your foot mechanics or another condition, our aim is to help you understand the cause and get you moving comfortably again.
What Causes Heel Pain?
Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common causes of pain underneath the heel, often particularly noticeable with the first few steps after rest.
Achilles Tendon Problems
Pain towards the back of the heel can be associated with irritation or overload of the Achilles tendon.
Biomechanical Problems
The way your feet, ankles and lower limbs move can contribute to abnormal loading and persistent heel pain.
Sports & Overuse Injuries
Running, changes in training and repetitive loading can contribute to heel and lower-limb pain.
Finding The Cause of Your Heel Pain
Heel pain does not always have a single cause, and treating the symptoms without understanding the underlying problem may not provide a long term solution.
Our podiatrists can assess your foot function, movement patterns, activity levels and lifestyle to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Where appropriate, we can use advanced technology including Footscan, advanced gait analysis and biomechanical assessment to provide a more detailed understanding of how your feet and lower limbs are functioning.
Heel Pain Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause of your heel pain. Following assessment, your personalised treatment plan may include activity modification, rehabilitation exercises, footwear advice, biomechanical management, custom orthotics or shockwave therapy where appropriate.
We don’t automatically recommend one particular treatment. Instead, we use our assessment to determine what is most likely to help you and explain your options clearly.
