Heel pain that won’t settle? Let’s find out why.

That sharp first step pain in the morning is your heel asking for help. Our podiatrists diagnose the actual cause, plantar fasciitis or one of its imitators, and start treatment the same day.

Diagnosed properly, treated immediately

1. Assess

History, clinical testing, footwear assessment and diagnosis, with in house ultrasound or referral for imaging where needed.
2. Analyse

Zebris gait analysis, 12,000+ sensors and two high speed cameras, finds the root cause, not just the sore heel.
3. Treat, same day

Treatment starts at your first consultation, with a plan tailored to you, your symptoms and your lifestyle.

Managing symptoms isn't the same as fixing causes

Most patients we see have already tried to manage their heel pain, strapping, stretching, new shoes, without a thorough assessment behind any of it.

Heel pain has more than one cause: plantar fasciitis, fat pad syndrome, nerve entrapment, even stress fractures present almost identically. The treatment that fixes one does little for the others, which is why the diagnosis comes first here.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a heel pain consultation?

Your consultation covers history taking, assessment, clinical testing, footwear assessment and diagnosis. We may perform an in house ultrasound scan or refer you for further imaging, and your podiatrist begins treatment at this first appointment.

How do you find the cause of my heel pain?

We assess your walking or running using our Zebris gait analysis system, which has over 12,000 sensors and two high speed cameras. This in depth data helps us establish the root cause of your symptoms rather than just managing them.

Will plantar fasciitis go away on its own?

Heel pain rarely disappears on its own. Many of our patients have tried to manage their symptoms without an in depth assessment, so we focus on an accurate diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan.

Where is JS Podiatry located?
