ACHILLES TENDON INJURY

At Nicola Shearman podiatry, we understand that the searing, burning pain in the back of your heel, achilles tendon or lower calf is holding you back from running, jumping and effecting every activity that you want to do.

Thank you very much for my appointment today. I found you warm and friendly and quickly put me at ease. You were knowledgeable and reassuring and gave me practical advise to help with my pain. I have been doing my exercises and feel much more positive about my condition and that I will get better.
