Heel Pain Holding You Back?
Waking up with a stabbing pain in your heel? Struggling to stay on your feet through the day?
You’re not alone — heel pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help at our clinic.
Whether you’re on your feet for work, love running, or simply enjoy long walks, heel pain can turn everyday activities into a struggle. The good news? In most cases, it can be successfully managed with the right approach.
What Is Heel Pain — And Why Does It Happen?
Heel pain often develops when a thick band of tissue under your foot, called the plantar fascia, becomes irritated or overloaded. This can happen gradually over time or sometimes more suddenly, especially if there’s been a change in your activity levels, footwear, or lifestyle.
It’s commonly felt:
- Under the heel or slightly to one side
- First thing in the morning or after long periods of rest
- When standing or walking for extended periods
There are many possible contributors, from flat feet to tight calf muscles, hard floors, or poorly cushioned shoes. Sometimes, people are told they have a “heel spur,” but in most cases, that isn’t actually the source of the pain.
How Do You Know What’s Causing It?
Every case of heel pain is slightly different, and that’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments.
At Rowlands Podiatry, we begin with a full clinical assessment, looking at:
- Your symptoms and history
- Foot and leg biomechanics
- Footwear and lifestyle factors
- Specific tests to pinpoint what’s contributing to your pain
Only then do we discuss the best options for treatment, personalised to your feet, your routine, and your goals.
