Heel pain and plantar fasciitis in Burgess Hill.

What we do

How we treat it

  1. We confirm what’s causing the heel pain, because plantar fascia, fat pad and nerve problems need different treatment.
  2. Shockwave therapy in the clinic. NICE guidance covers shockwave for plantar fasciitis.
  3. Hands-on treatment for the calf and foot, which is often where the extra load comes from.
  4. A loading programme so the tissue gets stronger rather than just rested.
ESWT

Three types of shockwave in one clinic

Focused, radial and EMTT, usually as a block of five weekly sessions with check-ins over 12 weeks. £80 a session or £350 for five.
