Footfriend - Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Sometimes known as “policeman’s heel”, Plantar Fasciitis is characterised by a pain in the heel.
One of the most common heel pain syndromes is called Plantar Fasciitis.
Over the years here at Footfriend we have successfully helped thousands of people get rid of this painful condition. Through a careful examination we can determine whether you have plantar fasciitis or another heel pain problem. This condition will not disappear overnight but we can tailor a program for you at your first appointment to help alleviate this painful problem.
Diagnosis & symptoms
This painful heel problem is diagnosed through careful history taking and an examination of your feet.
People with plantar fasciitis typically complain that they have pain in their heel when they get out of bed in the morning. This often fades away but can return if you are on your feet a lot during the day.
The pain is also experienced when standing after a period sitting.
Typical causes
As this is a musculoskeletal problem we need to examine you and take a careful history to determine the specific cause. We will also examine your footwear which can be a contributory factor for some sufferers.
How we can help
Through a careful examination we can identify what is causing your problem. From this we can provide a treatment program at your first appointment. We will also advise you on the best footwear for this problem.
We also stock quality gel heel cushions which will not cure your problem but will give you some immediate relief from the pain this problem is causing.
Get in touch to make an appointment at a time that suits you. We look forward to seeing you at our Beverley Clinic; serving Beverley, Hull and surrounding villages.
Patient Stories
I have been a client with Damian for a number of years. I am a Type 2 Diabetic and visit every eight weeks, Damian takes very good care of my feet, and keeps me up to date with information on the care of my feet, including ill fitting shoes. I would recommend him to all of my friends.

I have been visiting Footfriend now for over 12 years. During this time, I have found the standard of care and service to be first class. As I get older, I find visiting a professional very superior to trying to care for my feet and toes myself.
