Can a Podiatrist Help with Heel Pain?
If you’ve been dealing with heel pain and wondering whether a podiatrist can help—the answer is yes, absolutely. At Leading Health Podiatry in Modbury, we specialise in diagnosing and treating heel pain with a combination of advanced technology, hands-on care, and evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs.
Why Does My Heel Hurt?
Heel pain is a common issue that can stem from a variety of causes, such as:
Plantar fasciitis
Heel spurs
Achilles tendinopathy
Bursitis
Fat pad syndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Stress fractures
Getting the right diagnosis is crucial—and that’s exactly what we focus on. Our podiatrists take the time to assess your unique symptoms, movement, and lifestyle to determine the true cause of your pain.
What We Do at Leading Health Podiatry
Here’s what to expect when you visit our Modbury clinic:

Foot and ankle joint range of motion testing
3D foot scanning for precise orthotic design
Gait analysis to understand how you walk or run
✅ Accurate Diagnosis
Heel pain can have multiple causes, and each needs a specific approach. Our podiatrists are trained to identify the exact condition, not just guess and generalise.
