Heel Pain Holding You Back? Discover How a Podiatrist Can Help You Walk Pain-Free

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:

✅ Thorough Assessment

We perform a detailed biomechanical assessment, including:

• Medical and activity history

• 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.

✅ Evidence-Based Treatments

We offer a wide range of treatment options, including:

• Custom orthotics made in-house using 3D scans
  

• Shockwave therapy for stubborn or chronic heel pain (non-invasive & effective)
  
  

• Manual therapy to release tight structures and improve mobility

• Dry needling to target trigger points and reduce muscle tension

• Footwear recommendations tailored to your foot type and condition

• Taping, padding, and activity modification

And because we’re Bupa Preferred Providers, eligible Bupa members can enjoy higher rebates and lower out-of-pocket costs.
