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 felt my foot problem was quite minor and that perhaps I’d be wasting their time but Jack took so much time and care over explaining what the cause was and suggesting different ways to deal with it. I left feeling so much more positive. I would recommend this clinic wholeheartedly

My father has moderate knee OA with pain and stiffness, the appointment was relaxed and professional and follow up has been exceptional and now fully broken in the orthotics have improved my fathers gate immensely. Worth every penny!

A professional, thorough specialist assessment and review of my foot difficulties caused by high arches. Jack was personable, attentive and knowledgeable as a chiropodist and quickly identified the cause of my foot pain problems and recommended a number of targeted solutions including self help physiotherapy exercises, foot ware recommendations and arch supports with a follow up appointment by which time my foot difficulties were already improving. Thank you

I was referred to Jack at Northernhay Clinic by my chiropractor back in October. I was really suffering with debilitating ankle pain and was seriously considering having to give up my smallholding and my photographic career. My consultation with Jack was thorough, non invasive and he was very kind and well informed.I was provided with two sets of orthotics…one for my new trainers recommended by Jack and one for my wellies! I wore them as instructed and felt realigned and pain free immediately. I have worn my orthotics daily…with a bit barefoot around the house.
It is now the middle of April and I have continued to consistently enjoy pain free full mobility since wearing my orthotics.
I am so grateful to Jack and cannot recommend the service provided by Northernhay Clinic highly enough.
