It is also important to note that not all heel pain is plantar fasciitis. This is because of the muscle and nerve interactions with the heel that may also produce similar symptoms, but require different treatment.
At Premier Foot Clinic, we can offer an accurate diagnosis and compile an effective treatment plan. If indicated, we carry out a full gait analysis using a computerised force plate system. This takes the guess work out of the prescription needed for the orthotics and offers truly custom made orthotics.
Sometimes, the pain to the heel can be caused by muscles further up the leg. At Premier Foot Clinic, we also use acupuncture, which can sometimes offer almost instant pain reduction.
