Your guide to relieving Heel Pain
NOT all heel pain is the same!
Plantar fasciitis , Heel Spurs, Plantar fasciosis, Tibialis Posterior tendonosis , FHL tendonosis are all types of heel pain. Not all heel pain is from Fasciitis which is FREQUENTLY over diagnosed.
- Heel spurs is a common but incorrect diagnosis for heel pain. Whilst it is common for spurs to be present, it is rare indeed for the spur to be the cause of the problem. We don’t doubt your xray will show a spur, but its often not the main cause of your pain!
- Plantar fasciitis is yet another relatively common diagnosis. Many well-meaning health professional jump to this diagnosis when hearing common signs and symptoms. It’s a simple diagnosis for an often-complex problem! But is it correct?
- Achilles Tendonitis - "itis" is a term used to describe something that’s swollen. What happens if there is NO swelling there at all? Will ice and anti-inflammatories remove your pain? Should you really be stretching that? Research is now saying NO!
What if these are NOT your problem? What do you do if you’re being treated but it’s not getting better? How can we help?
