Heel pain is a common problem that can affect your ability to walk comfortably and carry out everyday activities. It is often caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon issues, or strain from overuse. The pain may be felt under the heel or at the back of the foot, and is often worse first thing in the morning or after periods of rest.
At our Poole podiatry clinic, we assess and treat heel pain for patients across Poole and Dorset. Symptoms can include sharp or aching pain, tenderness when putting weight on the foot, and stiffness that eases slightly with movement. Identifying the underlying cause is key to ensuring the most effective treatment.
Treatment is tailored to your individual needs and may include stretching and strengthening exercises, footwear advice, and orthotics to support the foot and reduce strain. In many cases, early intervention can help relieve symptoms quickly and prevent the problem from becoming long term.
If you are experiencing persistent heel pain in Poole or the surrounding Dorset area, it is important to seek professional advice. Our experienced podiatry team is here to help you return to comfortable movement and stay active.
