Foot Pain - Capital Podiatry

TAKE YOUR FIRST STEP TOWARDS FIXING YOUR Heel & foot pain

We’re active people and we understand how heel pain can get you down.

Heel pain interferes with your day-to-day life, such as getting out with your friends and family or exercising. In fact, heel pain and arch pain are the leading reasons that people come and see us.

Heel pain is one of the common conditions affecting the foot, and a whole host of issues come under the umbrella of “heel pain”, such as plantar fasciitis, plantar heel pain, fat pad atrophy, insertional achilles tendinopathy, heel spurs, and calcaneal apophysitis, among others.
