Founded in 1998 by Dr. Adam Shapiro, Foot & Ankle Associates is dedicated to providing the best medical and surgical care for your feet. With four convenient, state of the art offices located in Huntersville, Mooresville, Denver and the University area of Charlotte, the physicians of Foot & Ankle Associates provide comprehensive care of heel pain and plantar fasciitis.

There are various treatment methods available to relieve heel pain. Most people will start with home remedies like ice and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation. But when heel pain persists for more than a month or two, and home remedies are no longer sufficient, you should contact Foot &Ankle Associates to schedule an appointment. Below are typically recommended forms of non-invasive treatments:

• Custom orthotics
• Various stretching exercises
• Shoe replacement
• Padding
• Physical therapy

Most cases of heel pain can be treated with conservative methods, but anti-inflammatory medications or injections may also be recommended. These medications not only reduce pain, but inflammation too.

The only way to be certain, however, is to schedule a consultation to determine the best treatment for your heel pain. To schedule an appointment, click the button below or call us at one of our office locations that is convenient for you. We look forward to getting you back on your feet!
