Heel Pain Solutions
We provide clear, evidence-based Heel Pain Solutions for a wide range of heel conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, heel spurs, and biomechanical causes of heel discomfort. Treatment plans are tailored to the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, activity level, and long-term recovery goals.
Your appointment may include a comprehensive assessment, gait and biomechanical analysis, footwear review, treatment planning, and practical advice to help reduce pain and improve function.
Our approach focuses on non-surgical, treatment-specific care designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and address the underlying cause of heel pain rather than simply managing symptoms. Pain-free and low-downtime treatment options are available across Pinehill, Smales Farm, Remuera, Botany, Hamilton East, Hamilton Central and Bethlehem.
Treatment Options
Our Heel Pain Solutions include a range of proven, non-surgical and clinically guided treatment options tailored to your condition and recovery goals. Depending on the cause and severity of your heel pain, your clinician may recommend a single treatment or a combination approach to improve outcomes and support long-term recovery.
Diagnosis and Education
Understanding the root cause of heel pain is vital. Our clinic focuses on educating patients about various conditions contributing to heel discomfort, offering clear insights into the diagnosis process.
Manual Therapy
Our clinic offers hands-on techniques as part of heel pain management. Through skilled manual therapy, we employ various specialised methods such as soft tissue mobilisation and joint manipulation.
Dry Needling
Precise insertion of thin needles into trigger points, this non-invasive approach effectively addresses muscle tightness and discomfort associated with heel pain.
Taping, Padding & Compression
These methods serve as supplementary support for heel pain management. Our clinic offers taping techniques, strategic padding, and compression socks tailored to alleviate discomfort.
Exercise Prescription
We customize exercise regimens tailored to alleviate heel pain and enhance foot health. Our specialized exercises target strengthening, flexibility, and stability, addressing the underlying issues triggering discomfort.
Orthotic Therapy
Our clinic provides custom-designed orthotics to support and alleviate heel pain caused by biomechanical imbalances. These orthotic solutions are crafted to suit individual foot structures, correcting alignment issues and offering the necessary cushioning and support.
Shockwave Therapy
Utilizing focused sound waves, shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for heel pain. This approach stimulates healing in affected tissues, reducing pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy.
Footwear Education
Choosing the right footwear is key in managing heel pain. Our clinic offers guidance on selecting supportive shoes that alleviate discomfort. We provide tailored recommendations for footwear designed.
Night Splints
Our clinic offers custom-fit night splints to alleviate heel pain, especially associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis. These devices gently stretch foot tissues overnight, promoting flexibility and reducing morning discomfort and stiffness.
Immobilisation Boots
For severe cases of heel pain, particularly after injuries or trauma, our clinic provides immobilization boots. These specialized boots offer support and stability, allowing the affected area to rest and heal effectively.
