Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people visit our clinics in Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. It can present as pain under the heel, pain at the back of the heel, pain first thing in the morning, or discomfort that builds throughout the day.

At The Foot Clinics, we focus on identifying the cause of your heel pain before recommending treatment. That means looking beyond short-term symptom relief to create a plan that supports better movement, reduced pain, and longer-term results.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for heel pain to go away?

This depends on the cause of the pain, how long it has been present, and the treatment plan used. Many patients begin to notice improvement within a few weeks, although more persistent cases can take longer.

Can I exercise with heel pain?

In many cases, yes, but the type and intensity of exercise may need to be modified. Your podiatrist can help guide activity so you can stay as active as possible without aggravating the condition.

Do I need surgery for heel pain?

Most cases of heel pain can be managed without surgery. Treatment usually focuses on identifying the cause and using conservative options such as footwear changes, exercises, orthotics, or shockwave therapy where appropriate.

Are custom orthotics worth it for heel pain?

For some patients, yes. Custom orthotics can help reduce strain on painful structures, improve support, and make walking or standing more comfortable. Your podiatrist will determine whether they are appropriate for your presentation.

Can heel pain come back?

It can, particularly if the underlying causes are not addressed. A good treatment plan should not only aim to reduce pain, but also help lower the risk of recurrence through appropriate support, rehabilitation, and footwear advice.
