Heel pain treatment
We can make Orthotics to suit your feet and modify them when needed.

Treatment involves regular stretching. The aim is to stretch the fascia and keep it stretched to allow it to heal to its natural length.
2) Orthotics
Specially designed heel pads provide cushioning in the shoe to protect the heel. Custom made orthoses (insoles) can also be used to decrease strain on the plantar fascia. Symptoms typically heal over weeks to months with complete healing requiring at least 6 months.
3) Alternatives
When the heel does not respond to the above approaches other methods can be used.
4) Surgery
Surgery is not used as first line treatment but may be warranted in select cases.
