Which health professional should you see for heel pain?
Heel pain can generally be multifactorial, due to this, it’s necessary for heel pain to be treated from all angles from different health professionals as a multidisciplinary approach. Let’s start with how different health professionals can have their place; Exercise physiologists and Physiotherapists are a prime option for exercise prescription and treating load related issues. Physiotherapists can diagnose and treat your heel pain with many adjunct therapists such as soft tissue work, dry needling, shockwave and exercise prescription. Exercise physiologists specialise in the art of exercise as a form of rehabilitation through functional movements. Podiatrists can also diagnose and treat your heel pain with adjunct therapies such as dry needling, shockwave therapy & exercise prescription, however they can also address any biomechanical related issues through orthotic therapy.
