Heel Pain at Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people seek podiatry care. Because the heel absorbs much of the body’s weight during standing and walking, it is prone to overuse injuries, tendon disorders, and structural conditions.
At Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation, we specialise in diagnosing and treating all forms of heel pain. Our team uses advanced assessment, orthotics, rehabilitation, and evidence-based therapies to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.
Common Causes of Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis (Plantar Heel Pain) – irritation and degeneration of the plantar fascia, the most common cause of heel pain in adults
Heel Spurs – bony growths under the heel, often associated with plantar fasciitis but not always painful themselves
Sever’s Disease (Calcaneal Apophysitis) – common cause of heel pain in children and adolescents during growth spurts
Fat Pad Syndrome – thinning or injury of the heel’s natural cushioning pad, causing impact-related pain
