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 am extremely happy with the consultation I had with Jack. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. I was given excellent, clear advice and felt listened to throughout the consultation. I left feeling confident about the next steps and my treatment plan and would highly recommend.

Pain free!!!! After suffering from pain in the ball of each of my feet for 5+ years I finally decided to do something about it. I’m an avid hiker / trekker so walking and being active is a huge part of my life. Following an appointment and diagnosis of Morton’s neuroma I was fitted with a pair of custom orthotics and given a detailed plan of action. 2 weeks after my fitting I was in the Himalayas completing a circuit around the Annapurna range - pain free?! Thanks so much Jack and Northernhay Clinic for your excellent care and advice. As a result of your quick diagnosis and solution I was able to enjoy the trip of a lifetime without pain in my feet - a true gift!!!

I had an excellent experience at Northernhay Clinic in Exeter. From booking the appointment through to the consultation itself, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The clinic is modern, spotless, and very calm, which immediately puts you at ease. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. I felt genuinely listened to and well cared for throughout. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality private clinic in Exeter, I would absolutely recommend Northernhay Clinic for orthotics and any podiatry needs

I was recommended to see Jack by a friend after struggling with shin pain while running for as long as I can remember. The appointment was great, he really listened and reassured me. We came up with a plan together, he recommended some different footwear and I’ve now been running pain free for about 6 weeks. Would definitely recommend! Thanks team 😊

I had excellent advice from Jack at Northernhay podiatry clinic and the customised insoles that were made for me have transformed my foot comfort while hiking the SW and other challenging terrain. I had symptoms of both plantar fasciitis and Morton’s neuroma which have virtually gone, as long as I wear the insoles at all times. Very highly recommended!
