Foot and Heel Pain Clinic in Alcester
The Greig, Kinwarton Road, Alcester, Warwickshire · also at our Redditch clinic
Alcester foot clinic: expert treatment for heel pain, plantar fasciitis and foot and ankle injuries.
If the first few steps out of bed are the worst part of your day, you are in the right place. Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists diagnose and treat musculoskeletal problems of the foot and ankle. That means pain coming from tissue, tendon and joint problems rather than from skin and nails.
Treatment combines hands-on therapy and a graded exercise programme with shockwave therapy and MLS Class IV laser. We have both in clinic, and both are well established for stubborn heel and tendon pain. Where a joint is significantly inflamed, Mark is a Non-Medical Prescriber and injection therapist, so he can assess, inject and rehabilitate it himself rather than referring you on.
No GP referral needed. You can book directly, and you are usually seen within days.

Why come to us for foot and heel pain?
Heel and tendon pain is slow to settle with exercise alone, which is why most people who arrive here have already tried resting it, changing their shoes and waiting. We have the treatments that work on the stubborn cases in the building, and one clinician who can take you from diagnosis all the way through to injection and rehabilitation.
- Diagnosis first. Heel pain has several possible causes and they are treated differently, so the first appointment is a full musculoskeletal assessment, not a guess.
- Shockwave therapy on site. One of the best-established treatments for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. Most people need three to five sessions.
- MLS Class IV laser on site for pain, swelling and slow-healing tendons.
- Injection therapy without a second referral. Mark is an Advanced Practice Physiotherapist and Non-Medical Prescriber (HCPC PH90683), so he can assess, inject and rehabilitate the same joint himself.
- No GP referral needed, and you are usually seen within days.
Looking for nail cutting, corns, callus or verrucae? That is routine chiropody, and we do not provide it at the clinic. For those we refer to Jonathan Small, a registered podiatrist (DPodM, MChS, HCPC-registered). Call us on 07380 841468 and we will point you in the right direction.
