Meet our expert team of heel pain specialists, Podiatrists,  Dr. Michele McGowan and Dr. Timothy Henne. With years of experience and success treating even the most stubborn cases of heel pain, our center has become a trusted place for those who have struggled with long-standing discomfort. We’ve helped many patients who haven’t found success elsewhere.

At The Center for Ankle and Foot Care, we utilize the latest research and our extensive experience to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient. Even if you’ve seen multiple providers without success, we offer a fresh perspective focused on conservative treatments before considering surgery.

Our three-step approach to treating heel pain includes:

1. Identifying the Cause of Your Pain

We take the time to thoroughly evaluate all the factors contributing to your heel pain, including your foot structure, gait, and daily activities. From this assessment, we develop a plan that not only addresses your current pain but also helps prevent future issues.

2. Reducing Strain on the Plantar Fascia

Tension on the plantar fascia is a common cause of heel pain. To alleviate this, we offer top-of-the-line orthotics, custom-made to fit your arch and reduce strain on the affected area.

3. Reducing Inflammation and Healing Damage

Through a combination of physical therapy, anti-inflammatory treatments, and advanced techniques, we work to reduce inflammation and reverse degenerative changes in your foot. We may also recommend heel cups, over-the-counter arch supports, or custom orthotics to further support your recovery.

Studies have shown that custom orthotics can be a game-changer for those dealing with plantar fasciitis and other heel and arch problems. Our specialists will guide you in selecting the best orthotics for your condition, whether custom-made or prefabricated, without unnecessary expense.

At The Center for Ankle and Foot Care, we use advanced 3D scanning technology to ensure a precise fit for your custom orthotics. This process allows us to create orthotics that perfectly match your foot’s biomechanics, providing lasting support and relief from heel pain.

If you’ve tried other treatments without success, we’re happy to provide a thorough second opinion. We’ll review your medical history, evaluate previous treatments, and perform a detailed assessment to ensure nothing has been overlooked. Be sure to bring along any imaging, notes from other specialists, orthotics, or shoes you’ve been using for a complete evaluation.
