The Foot Practice: Your Trusted Podiatry Specialists

Welcome to The Foot Practice! As experts in foot care and podiatry services, we understand the impact that sore heels can have on your daily life. With our extensive knowledge in the field, we aim to provide comprehensive solutions to keep your feet healthy and pain-free.

Understanding Sore Heels

Sore heels, also known as plantar fasciitis, can be caused by various factors such as overuse, improper footwear, or biomechanical issues. The condition typically manifests as a sharp pain in the heel, often worse in the morning or after long periods of rest.

Professional Diagnosis and Treatment

At The Foot Practice, our podiatrists are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating sore heels. Through a thorough examination and assessment, we determine the underlying cause of your pain to develop an individualized treatment plan.

Orthotic Devices

One of the most effective treatments for sore heels is the use of custom-made orthotic devices. These are specifically designed to provide support and alleviate pressure on the affected heel. Our experienced podiatrists will carefully analyze your foot mechanics to create the perfect orthotics for you.

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

In addition to orthotics, our team may recommend specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the muscles and ligaments surrounding the heel. Physical therapy can play a crucial role in pain relief and preventing future flare-ups of sore heels.

Prevention and Self-Care Tips

While our expert podiatrists can help you find relief from sore heels, there are also several self-care practices that you can incorporate into your daily routine:

Proper Footwear

Investing in well-fitted shoes with good arch support is crucial for maintaining the health of your feet. Avoid high heels, flat shoes without cushioning, and worn-out footwear that can exacerbate heel pain.

Stretching Exercises

Perform regular stretching exercises that target the calf muscles and the plantar fascia to improve flexibility and prevent tightness in the heel area. Consult with our podiatrists to learn specific exercises tailored to your condition.
