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.

I have been a nursing for just over 30 years , l had to give it up last year due to chronic plantar fasciitis and l had tried everything that l could buy to relieve the burning pain in my heel , nothing was working and because of the difference in my stance and walking it was starting to effect my left knee , l had heard about northernhay clinic in Exeter from a friends Neice who had suffered so badly and gave up on help until she found these specialists so l decided l had nothing to loose
It was the best decision l made , my insoles were bespoke to my heels requirements , an examination and scan was given and great advice , exercises to relieve the pain , which was instantaneous , l honestly didn’t believe this could make such a difference but it has and l know l have control back again , no more pain in my heels and l couldn’t be happier , l recommend this team to everyone and l had the pleasure of meeting jack , professional , kind and patient
Thank you Northernhay

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.
