Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common causes of heel pain: inflammation of the thick tissue band connecting the heel bone to the toes. Typically causes stabbing pain with the first steps in the morning, easing with movement but returning after long periods of standing.
How Alliance can help
Soft tissue therapy, RMT, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, IMS, acupuncture, and shockwave can relieve symptoms; custom orthotics from one of our chiropractors can help prevent recurrence.

Heel pain and your daily routine
Note when heel pain occurs, how the first steps after rest feel and whether work, walking or running changes it. Bring the footwear or orthotics you normally use so you can discuss how they fit into your routine.
Bring your goals
Describe the daily tasks, work or activities you want to do more comfortably. Share what you have already tried and any care you are receiving elsewhere.
Ask about your plan
Ask what the assessment shows, which options fit your circumstances and when progress will be reviewed. Discuss how another discipline could contribute if appropriate.
Choose your next step
Browse the relevant service team and practitioner profiles. Reception can help with the appointment type, fees and billing arrangements.

Can I ask about orthotics for heel pain?
Yes. Discuss whether an orthotics assessment is relevant to your symptoms and goals. Ask about alternatives, costs and any prescription requirements for insurance before ordering.
What happens at an initial assessment?
Your practitioner will discuss your symptoms, health history and goals, assess what is appropriate and explain the options. Ask what findings mean for your daily activities and when your progress should be reviewed.
Can more than one practitioner be involved in my care?
Alliance brings different disciplines together in one clinic. If another perspective may be helpful, discuss a coordinated plan, your preferences and how information will be shared with your consent.
How do I confirm fees and insurance before booking?
Review the chosen appointment on Jane and contact reception about billing. Your plan may have requirements that depend on the service and practitioner.
