Heel Pain, the Ouch Doesn’t Have to Continue

One in ten people will experience heel pain. For many, the problem will have asignificant impact on their lives. In response, the Barrie Foot Clinic has established the Heel Pain Centre to provide comprehensive services and a full range of treatment options for people with acute and long term heel pain.

Heel pain is usually the result of faulty biomechanics that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. The stress may also be the result of an injury, poor footwear, over activity or from being overweight.

Our approach is to effectively diagnose the problem, identify an appropriate treatment plan, educate the patient and continually monitor the progress to ensure the best course of action is being followed.

A Treatment Protocol is designed specifically for each patient which may include any number of the following treatment options:

• Low Light Laser Treatment
• Shockwave Therapy
• Ultrasound Therapy
• Taping/Plantar Fascia Strap
• Orthotics and Orthopedic Footwear
• Night Splint
• NSAIDs
• Cortisone Injection

We believe education is a very important component to a sound treatment plan. We ex-plain how rest can help eliminate severe pain and inflammation and suggest home based activities such as icing, exercising and stretching. Finally, we emphasize the importance of suitable footwear inside and outside of the home.
