Heel Pain

Understanding Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common problem that can make walking, standing, or exercising uncomfortable. It often develops gradually and may feel sharp, aching, or burning—especially when you first get out of bed or after long periods of activity.

Common Causes of Heel Pain Include:

  • Plantar fasciitis – inflammation or irritation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that supports the arch of your foot

  • Achilles tendinopathy – pain and stiffness in the tendon that connects your calf muscles to your heel

  • Heel spurs – small bony growths that form due to stress on the heel over time

  • Nerve entrapment – such as Baxter’s nerve compression, which can cause burning or tingling in the heel

  • Fat pad irritation or thinning – reduced cushioning under the heel, leading to pain with impact

Why Non-Surgical Treatments Work

Most heel pain can be treated successfully without surgery. At our clinic, we focus on getting to the root of your pain and using proven treatments that support healing and help you return to normal activity.

We offer:

  • Custom rehab plans to stretch and strengthen key muscles and tendons

  • Shockwave therapy to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain

  • Ultrasound-guided regenerative injections (like platelet-rich plasma or dextrose) to promote healing

  • Footwear guidance and orthotics to support proper foot mechanics

  • Nerve hydrodissection when nerve compression is part of the problem

By combining accurate diagnosis with targeted, non-invasive treatments, we help relieve heel pain and restore movement—without surgery or long recovery times.
