Heel pain has many causes and can affect individuals of all ages. In children, for instance, Severs disease is a common source of discomfort, while plantar fasciitis can strike just about anyone. Achilles tendinitis is another frequent issue, especially among runners who have quickly increased their running distance or intensity.
Although plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis are among the most common culprits behind pain in and around the heel, there are other conditions to consider. Haglund’s deformity, bursitis, and nerve impingement can also lead to heel pain, making a professional diagnosis essential.
Early treatment often means quicker pain relief and a faster return to your usual activities. At Gold Standard, we begin with a thorough examination to identify the root cause of your heel pain before creating a tailored treatment plan. Depending on your needs, we may use Shockwave Therapy, Fascial Manipulation Therapy (Stecco), High Intensity Laser, or Focussed Electromagnetic Therapy to help reduce discomfort. Where necessary, our team can also provide custom insoles and guidance on suitable footwear.
For long-term benefits, our sports injuries therapist offers personalised rehabilitation programs. By addressing your unique condition and lifestyle, we aim to alleviate your pain and help prevent its recurrence.
