Heel Spur Treatment Frewville

At Heel Pain Clinics of Adelaide, we have people come in daily from Frewville believing a Heel Spur is causing pain that limits what they want to do. However, a Heel Spur does not cause the pain.

Affecting the fibrous tissue on the sole of the foot, Plantar Fasciitis typically manifests as unease or discomfort in the heel and/or arch. The Plantar Fascia in question often shows inflammation and minor tears, either in the arch or where it anchors into the heel bone. Though a spur might be visible, it’s not the underlying cause of the discomfort in the heel. The nomenclature “Heel Spurs” is both outdated and misleading, having been used inaccurately for more than three decades.

For those dealing with Plantar Fasciitis, the sensation is commonly described as akin to having a bruise beneath the heel. This sensation can vary from sharp to aching and is often most apparent during the first steps of the day or potentially later in the afternoon or evening.

For residents of Frewville, Heel Pain Clinics of Adelaide is experienced in managing a variety of Plantar Fascia conditions, from mild discomfort to severe ruptures. The sooner the condition is addressed, the more straightforward it is to manage and the likelihood of requiring surgical intervention may be reduced. Our 5 Step Heel Pain Relief Regime often recommends exercises and icing for milder cases. It’s not uncommon for people to ignore initial symptoms, holding out hope that the unease in the heel will simply fade. For those with moderate to severe Plantar Fasciitis, a clinic assessment is recommended. Severe cases involving ruptures may necessitate surgical procedures.

Mild Plantar Fasciitis:

  • Bruise-like feeling under the heel
  • Dull aching in the heel
  • Ache in afternoons/evening following being on their feet for long periods
  • Tightness in the arch
  • Intermittent pain and may not be every morning or afternoon

Moderate Plantar Fasciitis:

  • Rather than feeling tightness it is genuine pain
  • Pain every morning
  • It takes 1-5 minutes for morning pain to subside
  • Pain after sitting down and getting up

Severe Plantar Fasciitis:

  • Excruciating pain for most of the day
  • Shooting, throbbing and stabbing sensations at rest
  • A possible tear or rupture of the plantar fascia which may require surgery
Contributing factors for Plantar Fasciitis are:

  • Poor/soft footwear
  • Tight calf muscles
  • Poor Foot Function, particularly flat feet
  • Sudden increase in body weight
  • Recent increase in sporting activity or poor training methods/technique

Experiencing discomfort in the heel can become a pressing matter that interferes with your lifestyle. Early attention is often beneficial once the signs become apparent, or ideally, preventive measures can be undertaken. Our patients frequently mention that routine tasks, from playing with kids to partaking in exercise, become arduous. It’s wise to address this early to lessen its effect on your physical activities.
