Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people visit Shellharbour Podiatry, and no two cases are quite the same. Plantar fasciitis is the usual cause, but pain at the back of the heel, a bruised-feeling heel pad or heel pain in an active child each need a slightly different approach.
Our team combines evidence-based care with clear explanations, so you understand what's causing your pain and why we're recommending each step. Treatment may include load changes, calf and foot strengthening, footwear advice and taping, with orthotics or shockwave therapy when pain is stubborn. For children with Sever's disease, we focus on keeping them active and playing while it settles.
Many people need a few visits over several weeks so we can progress exercises and see how the heel is responding. No referral needed: book online or by phone at our Shellharbour Village clinic.
