Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people visit my clinic, and it's easy to see why. Whether it's the sharp pain you feel when you take your first few steps in the morning, discomfort after a long day at work, or an ache that stops you enjoying your favourite walk, heel pain can have a significant impact on your daily life.

The encouraging news is that most heel pain can be managed successfully once the underlying cause has been identified. The key is understanding why it's happening, rather than simply trying to mask the symptoms.
