Heel Spur

Bony spurs on the base of the heel can cause sharp pain on weight-bearing, as the spur itself causes friction and puts pressure on the surrounding tissues. 

Request a Consultation

This condition is not as common as we previously thought. Sometimes Heel Spurs can be present but not cause any pain at all. Generally, diagnostic imaging is required to be sure of the presence of a Heel Spur. Often, calcifications in the Plantarfascia itself will be mistaken for bony spurs. Radial Shockwave Therapy can be extremely effective in the breakdown of calcifications causing pain within tendons & fascia.

If you are concerned about Heel Pain or feel that you have a Heel Spur, contact our Team today to book a Consultation.

Great service from Jack Boulter at Northernhay Clinic. My ankle and knee problems have been corrected quickly and easily with a set of custom insoles following an initial examination. I should have made my appointment months earlier! Highly recommended for anyone with pain in the feet, ankles or knees. A practical, drug free solution.

I am so impressed with the service I received from Northernhay Clinic. Jack was very approachable and took time to explain the treatment that he offered. He was happy to answer any questions in a friendly and professional manner. The custom made foot orthoses are fantastic! They are so comfortable and have helped my back, hip and foot issues. They really are a game changer! I would highly recommend Northernhay Clinic.
Thank you Jack!

Excellent attitude and service. It has taken me from virtually unable to walk, back to walking almost pain free. Professional setup, with quality up to date equipment in a small personal clinic. Easy parking nearby too. Thoroughly satisfied with my service from them.

Professional, friendly and effective. I had close to 2 years of tendonitis and bursitis following a major knee operation, even standing was often painful. My GP was useless and I was gaining weight and becoming slightly depressed. I saw Jack Boulter at the Northernhay Clinic who made a comprehensive assessment and analysis and offered a few options for treatment. After only a few sessions I am finally pain free again and able to get back to all the activities and sports I love. Great service, highly recommended.

I recommend a visit to the Northernhay Clinic if you have an ankle problem. The pre-assessment submission is thorough and wide-ranging so that the initial briefing is well informed. The treadmill and computerised analysis of walking patterns was revealing and the custom-made orthoses are comfortable and effectively amend walking habits. Jack is informative, welcoming and very efficient and knowledgeable.
