Heel Pain Assessment is a detailed examination of your foot, ankle and lower-limb function.

A Heel Pain Assessment is a detailed examination of your foot, ankle and lower-limb function. It helps our
HCPC-registered podiatrists
identify the likely cause of your symptoms and understand why the painful area may be under increased stress.
This appointment is specifically designed for people experiencing heel pain.
If your symptoms require a more in-depth assessment of your walking and lower-limb biomechanics, we may recommend our
Bronze Walking Assessment.
What does the Heel Pain Assessment include?
Your assessment includes:
- A discussion about your symptoms, medical history and activity levels
- A review of your work, sport, footwear and any previous treatments
- Clinical examination of the heel, foot, ankle and lower limb
- Assessment of joint movement, range of motion, muscle strength and function
- Observation of how you stand and walk
- 2D dynamic pressure analysis to help us assess movement, function and areas of increased pressure
- A clear explanation and summary of our findings
- A personalised treatment plan based on your assessment
Depending on your findings, your treatment plan may include footwear advice, activity modification, strengthening exercises, shockwave therapy or orthotic therapy.
Appointment duration: 30 minutes
