Project Description
Heel Pain
Heal pain conditions include – Plantar fasciitis, bursitis, heel bumps, tarsal tunnel syndrome, fracture, Sever’s disease, Achilles tendonitis and chronic inflammation of the heel pad.
The heel absorbs the impact of your weight and if it does become painful it can be disabling, affecting your posture. It is a common condition often aggravated by small repetitive injuries.
Anyone of any age can suffer from heel pain, especially athletes, people who have to stand for long periods, the over 40’s and the overweight.

If you do suffer from heel pain and it persists you should see a podiatrist who can diagnose your condition. You may be offered footwear advice, self-help and you might benefit from specialist treatments such as a biomechanical assessment and if appropriate a bespoke orthotic can be prescribed. This orthotic supports and cushion the foot and can reduce pain on impact on walking and running.
Rachel Miller is an experienced podiatrist and a specialist in biomechanics who sees many patients for heel pain. Her clinic is at the Highgate Health Centre every weekend on either Saturday or Sunday and every Tuesday. Contact the Centre for an appointment on 020 8348 5553.
