Focused Excellence in Heel & Arch Pain
Most patients come to us after trying ice, rest, and generic stretches without success. Chronic heel pain is rarely just ‘soreness.’ It is often a specific clinical condition that requires a targeted mechanical solution.
Sharp, stabbing pain during those first few steps in the morning or after sitting.
Deep, localized tenderness in the center of the heel or along the inner arch.
Ache and stiffness at the back of the heel, common in active adults and growing children.
Does This Sound Like You ?
Heel pain often follows a predictable pattern. If these signs match your symptoms, it may be plantar fasciitis.
- Does stepping out of bed feel like stepping on to nails?
- Does heel pain stop you from exercising or standing for long periods?
- Does the pain subside during the day but return fiercely after resting?
If Yes, You Don’t Need To Live With It.
Advanced Technology:
Extracorporeal Shockwave
Therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate metabolic activity and the body’s natural healing response in stagnant, chronic tissue.

How We Treat Heel Pain & plantar Fasciitis
At Happy Feet Podiatry, we don’t guess and we don’t offer one size fits all advice.
We start by identifying the root cause of your heel pain or plantar fasciitis, not just the symptoms, so treatment is targeted, effective, and built around your lifestyle.
Our treatment approach typically includes:
- A thorough podiatry assessment to understand what’s causing your Heel pain
- A personalised treatment plan designed specifically for your feet and activity level
- Evidence-based pain relief strategies focused on lasting improvement, not temporary fixes
