Seattle Heel Pain Second Opinions

If you have chronic heel pain that isn’t responding to treatment with your current doctor or if invasive treatment such as heel surgery has been recommended to you, make an appointment to see our doctors at the Seattle Heel Pain Center for a second opinion.

We are the Seattle region’s heel pain specialty clinic and we can usually provide treatment suggestions to cure even the most stubborn cases of heel pain and we can almost always help you avoid surgery. After a complete history and evaluation we will provide you with all of the available options for treatment of your heel pain, whether it is due to plantar fasciitis or another condition. Our opinions are based on the latest research on heel pain and our own experience over the past 20 years.

Your Heel Pain Second Opinion will Include:

• History and examination
• In-depth evaluation of any orthotics or arch supports
• Shoe evaluation
• Detailed and easy to understand explanation of our findings and treatment options
• Recommendations on a specific treatment plan

Please Bring the Following to Your Heel Pain Second Opinion Appointment:

• Any current foot x-rays
• Current CT, MRI or Bone scans of the feet along with the radiologist’s report
• Notes from current and past foot specialists who have treated the heel pain. You can download a records request form here and fax it to your doctor(s).
• Orthotics and / or arch supports
• A sample of the more common shoes you wear
• A written summary from your perspective of your treatment thus far is not required, but can be helpful.

Second opinions are always a good idea to help ensure you have all the information necessary to ensure you are able to cure your heel pain. Even if we agree with your current course of treatment, we can usually provide some additional insight to help you heal quicker and prevent the heel pain from returning.
