Heel pain therapy and Plantar fasciitis treatment in Ballymena

Get In Step Podiatry on Henry Street, Ballymena, offers expert heel pain therapy and plantar fasciitis treatment for people whose daily steps have become painful. If you’re struggling with sharp heel pain, stiffness on first steps, or discomfort that worsens with activity, a specialist assessment can make all the difference. Led by Dr. Elaine Hoey (HCPC registered chiropodist), our clinic takes a biomechanics-led approach to identify the root cause of the problem rather than simply managing symptoms.

We specialise in chiropody, gait and postural analysis, orthotics, sports injuries and lower limb and foot pain. That means your treatment plan may combine hands-on clinical care, targeted footwear and gait advice, and custom orthotic support, designed to reduce strain on the plantar fascia and help your heel recover properly. Our focus is on improving how you move, so you can return to everyday routines with confidence.

What to expect at Get In Step Podiatry:

• Clinical assessment to understand your pain pattern, lifestyle demands, and any contributing foot mechanics.
• Gait and postural analysis to pinpoint biomechanics that may be driving stress through the heel and arch.
• Evidence-based heel pain therapy and plantar fasciitis treatment plan tailored to your needs.
• Recommendations that may include supportive insoles or custom orthotics to improve alignment and reduce pressure.
• Clear aftercare guidance on activity, footwear support, and progression to recovery.

We work with athletes as well as families, and we understand that plantar fasciitis can affect work, sport, and mobility. Whether you need a conservative plan to calm symptoms or an orthotics-focused programme to support long-term comfort, Elaine Hoey will guide you through each stage of treatment.

If heel pain is limiting your steps, don’t wait for it to worsen. Book a consultation and take the first step towards more comfortable walking.
