Treating Heel Pain – The full solution?

Treating Heel Pain – The full solution?

Treating Heel Pain - The full solution

Heel pain is one of the most debilitating conditions that our doctors see every single day. Pain in the morning is common for people; first step and OUCH! Only to be relieved or Plateau and return later in the day! This makes treating heel pain effectively a necessity for many people.

Shockwave has become one of the gold standard treatments for heel pain.  As one of the first clinics to adopt shockwave we have seen a rise in its use across other clinics and sadly not always successfully. The reason is often because well meaning practitioners who use this, use it as a stand alone treatment and NOT as part of a treatment plan to beat painful heels!

Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs and Achilles tendinitis will all respond well to shockwave, however, alone as a therapy shockwave will only provide part of a solution.

Heel pain requires a treatment plan that incorporates multiple areas to be addressed from Footwear to foot posture, then to address both the soft tissue pain and then the tissue strength to balance it’s recovery and get patients back to happy healthy and active.

Sadly treating heel pain with shockwave alone will rarely see patient recover leading to more pain and frequently frustration!

Frustrating mistakes Dr’s and other practitioners make when treating heel pain

Yeah, you know I think one of the most frustrating mistakes I see practitioners make is treating all heel pain like it's the one condition. The problem is if you continue to diagnose everything as fasciitis, and you also treat it in exactly the same way.

No one solution is perfect for all patients. Everyone responds to treatments differently and, Therefore, each person requires a care plan that’s individual to them.

I hope that helps. Make sure you head to our information below and our links to look up more information about heel pain, foot types, and other sports injuries. We look forward to making you happy, healthy and active.

Our Dr’s (Dr Foot) Names his favourite treatments for heel pain

I think I've actually got two most significant or treatments that stand out for me as a practitioner for heel pain. The two treatments that stand out for me; one being extracorporeal shockwave therapy, or shockwave therapy. The other being progressive muscle rehab or progressive muscle strengthening. Both of these really have revolutionised the way that we in the clinic treat heel pain.

For me, I've found that they've significantly decreased the amount of time that patients are in pain or suffering from this. From months down to weeks in many cases.

I think it's important to make sure that the people that are delivering this to your or helping you with this have a lot of experience because sometimes, using shockwave can actually increase your pain if it's not delivered in the right way. And I've also seen the same with progressive muscle rehab in that it's not progressive and it becomes incredibly dynamic with practitioners starting at too a high a level.

So, they're the two most improved treatments that I think that will work for you.

I hope that helps. Make sure you head to our information below and our links to look up more information about heel pain, foot types, and other sports injuries. We look forward to making you happy, healthy and active.
