People would generally experience some degree of heel pain relief with conventional treatments such as wearing an orthotic device, ultrasound, strapping, stretching, and foot exercises. Yet, we often see people experience little relief or have recurring symptoms with the above treatments when the true issue of pain has not been addressed.

At The Footwork Clinic, our sports podiatrists are specialized in correcting the mechanical misalignment of the foot and ankle, heel spur treatments, and addressing the exact tissues that are under stress with our advanced manual therapies. A systematic review by (Fraser et al., 2012) has concluded that manual therapy is clearly associated with improved function and pain reduction in plantar fasciitis patients, particularly when combined with rehabilitation exercises.

One of the important treatment modalities that we have mastered for resolving chronic sudden heel pain is treating the whole fascial chain starting from the plantar fascia up to the calf and hamstrings with our myofascial release techniques such as western medical acupuncture and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation , since any dysfunctions along the posterior chain can cause pain under the foot arch or heel.
To maximize pain reduction in the shortest time possible, we may employ Shockwave Therapy as an adjunct therapy to breaks down scar tissue and promote the body’s healing response. It is a proven, evidence-based treatment for chronic heel pain. Discover more HERE .
