Plantar Fasciitis & Achilles Tendonitis Treatment

Relieving Heel Pain. Restoring Comfortable Movement.

At Infinity Foot Clinic, our chiropodist provides expert assessment and treatment for Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis — two common causes of heel and lower leg pain.

Whether your pain is worse first thing in the morning, after exercise, or following long periods of standing, we focus on identifying the cause and creating a personalised treatment plan to help you recover safely and effectively.

👣 What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. It commonly causes:

• Sharp heel pain (especially with first steps in the morning)

• Pain after long periods of standing

• Discomfort after exercise

🦵 What Is Achilles Tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon at the back of the heel. Symptoms may include:

• Pain at the back of the heel or lower calf

• Stiffness, particularly in the morning

• Swelling or tenderness

• Pain during activity

How Our Chiropodist Treats Heel & Tendon Pain

1️⃣ Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a detailed evaluation including:

• Gait (walking) analysis

• Foot structure assessment (flat feet, high arches)

• Joint mobility testing

• Identification of pressure points

• Review of footwear

Understanding the root cause is key to long-term relief.

2️⃣ Biomechanical Correction

Many cases are caused by abnormal foot mechanics. Treatment may include:

• Custom orthotics to support the arch

• Heel lifts (for Achilles strain)

• Shock-absorbing insoles

• Footwear advice

Proper support reduces strain on the fascia and tendon.

3️⃣ Stretching & Strengthening Guidance

We provide tailored exercise plans to:

• Improve flexibility

• Reduce tension in the calf and foot

• Strengthen supporting muscles

• Prevent recurrence

4️⃣ Pressure Relief & Padding

• Heel padding

• Strapping or taping techniques

• Temporary offloading support

These methods reduce stress while healing occurs.

5️⃣ Ongoing Monitoring

Recovery takes time. Follow-up appointments allow us to:

• Track improvement

• Adjust orthotics if needed

• Modify treatment plans

• Prevent recurrence

Who Is Most At Risk?

• Runners and active individuals

• People who stand for long periods

• Those with flat feet or high arches

• Individuals wearing unsupportive footwear
