Heel Pain

Your heel absorbs the impact of your body weight when walking or exercising and heel complaints can be very disabling. Heel complaints are common, there are many different conditions and anyone of any age can suffer from heel pain. It is important to diagnose your complaint and its underlying cause to effectively treat you.

If you do suffer from heel pain and it persists you should see an experienced podiatrist who can diagnose your condition and recommend a treatment plan. You may be offered footwear advice, heel pads, self-help advice, exercise and stretching regimes and you might benefit from specialist treatments such as a biomechanical assessment. A bespoke orthotic insole can be prescribed which can support and cushion the foot and may reduce pain on impact on walking and running.

Rachel Miller is a highly experienced podiatrist specialising in biomechanics who sees many patients for heel pain. Her clinic is at the Highgate Health Centre in Highgate village, N6, London every weekend on either Saturday or Sunday and every Tuesday. Contact the Centre for an appointment on 020 8348 5553.
