Are you dealing with discomfort in your heel due to plantar fasciitis or heel spurs?

Look no further than Ace Physio!

Introducing our ‘Heel Support Program’—a comprehensive 5-step plan designed specifically for heel pain linked to plantar fasciitis or heel spurs.

Our team at Ace Physio consists of registered physiotherapists and chiropodists, also known as podiatrists, who focus on addressing heel pain through natural methods, steering clear of injections or medications. We believe that living with pain is not necessary, and we have dedicated significant time and resources to creating an approach that has shown remarkable effectiveness. The “Heel Support Program” starts with an in-depth evaluation, followed by a personalized plan tailored just for you.

Step 1 – a detailed evaluation that includes gathering your medical history and conducting a physical examination.

Step 2 – involves a customized exercise and stretching routine tailored to your specific requirements.

Step 3 – We use Shockwave Therapy to stimulate tissue repair.  Shockwave Therapy has proven in previous studies to have greater efficacy than any other natural treatment with regard to decreasing heel pain and improving function.  If you have never heard or experienced Shockwave therapy, the best way to think about it, is to think of the shock as sound/acoustic pressure waves.  These waves promote the body’s natural processes and enhance the speed of recovery while alleviating discomfort. We utilize At the top of the line Storz MP200 shockwave therapy machine (the same technology used in most clinical research studies) to loosen up the tight surrounding muscles, for example, the calf muscles, followed by shockwave therapy directly to the painful regions of the arch and heel.  While many practitioners out there are only giving you 1500-2000 shocks, we are employing approximately. 8000 shocks, and this is just one of the many reasons we are getting better results than others who are performing shockwave therapy.

Step 4 – Following your Shockwave treatments, we utilize the Terraquant LS50-6D Laser Therapy Device to enhance the strength of compromised cells and facilitate the body’s natural recovery processes, contributing to a decrease in discomfort and associated symptoms. The LS50 laser therapy emitter is considered “the king” of emitter probes and offers the most power and deepest penetration available in FDA-cleared cold lasers.  Our lasers are incredibly safe, while still being highly effective!

Step 5 – While this last step is optional, it is highly recommended.  In order to get maximum benefit from our program, we often need to remove the root cause of the problem.  And the best way to do this is by getting a pair of properly fitted prescription custom orthotic insoles.  Ace Physio is proud to dispense highly accurate 3D laser casted custom orthotic insoles made by our in house chiropodist.
