Foot Pain

Foot pain can range from a nagging ache in the heel first thing in the morning to constant burning nerve pain that disrupts sleep and makes walking a challenge. In many cases patients have been told to rest, given anti-inflammatories or steroid injections, and sent away without a clear explanation of what is actually wrong or what can be done to address it properly.

At Proback Clinic in Victoria, London, we take a different approach. Our practitioners combine advanced diagnostic assessment with a range of regenerative and non-surgical treatments – targeting the underlying structural, tendon, nerve or joint problem rather than managing symptoms around it. Whether the cause is plantar fasciitis, peripheral neuropathy, a tendon injury, joint degeneration or pain referred from the spine, we have a treatment approach tailored to it.

Initial consultation: £110 – includes examination, X-ray where required, and a full results appointment.

Treating Foot Pain

It goes without saying that we all need healthy, pain-free feet to get through daily life. That’s why even the mildest case of foot pain can feel pretty miserable. Foot pain is commonly caused by direct injury or trauma to the feet. Foot pain can also result from dysfunction in other related joints of the body. Poor movement and function in the low back, pelvis, hips, and knees can affect how we stand and walk, thus contributing to increased strain to the muscles and joints of the feet.

What Causes Foot Pain?

Most of us do not even think about the strain daily life puts on our feet. Wearing poorly fitted, tight shoes or high heels can all put our feet under stress and cause injuries over time. When we rely on our feet every single day, injuries caused by overuse are quite common. These are some of the conditions that can affect our feet:

Achilles Tendinitis: an overuse injury affecting tissue connecting the calf muscle to the heel
Bunions, Corns or Calluses
Fallen Arches
High Arches
Bone Spurs: bony growths that can develop along the edge of bone
Arthritis
Metatarsal Syndrome: inflammation caused by overuse
Plantar Fasciitis: inflammation in the tissue on the base of the foot
Stress Fractures
Morton’s Neuroma: a condition commonly affecting the 3rd or 4th toe, often caused as a result of wearing high-heels
Hallux Rigidus: stiffening of the big toe
Sciatica
Gout: a complex arthritic condition which can cause sudden, severe pain

Peripheral Neuropathy: nerve damage causing burning, tingling, numbness or hypersensitivity – causes include diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, post-viral illness and idiopathic neuropathy

Symptoms of a Foot Injury

Sensations you may experience with a condition affecting the foot could be:

Pins & Needles
Tingling
Weakness
Aching
Shooting Pains
Stabbing Pains
Generally painful feet: ranging from mild and infrequent, to chronic and constant.
Burning sensation
Numbness
Night pain – pain that worsens at night or disturbs sleep
Hypersensitivity to touch

Our Foot Pain Treatments

Heel and Arch Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)

Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common and stubborn causes of heel and arch pain. The plantar fascia – the band of connective tissue running from the heel bone to the base of the toes – develops micro-tears and chronic inflammation at its insertion point, often compounded by poor footwear, repetitive loading or biomechanical stress referred from higher up the kinetic chain.

Prolotherapy targets the enthesis directly – injecting a natural dextrose solution at the bone-tendon junction to stimulate collagen production and restore the structural integrity that chronic degeneration has compromised. Prolozone delivers medical-grade ozone into the affected tissue to reduce chronic inflammation and improve cellular oxygenation. Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic waves to break down calcific deposits and scar tissue, stimulate blood flow and accelerate repair. These three treatments are frequently combined for plantar fasciitis, producing significantly better outcomes than any single approach alone. All injections are performed under ultrasound guidance.

Tendon Pain (Achilles)

Achilles Tendinopathy and Tendon Pain

Achilles tendinopathy and tendinitis are common in active patients and those who spend long periods on their feet. Restricted blood flow to tendons slows the rate at which the body can repair damaged tissue, which is why Achilles injuries can become chronic without targeted treatment.

Shockwave Therapy uses a percussive tapping motion to stimulate blood flow and break down scar tissue at the tendon. K-Laser Therapy works at a cellular level to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes – developing new blood vessels in the surrounding tissue (neovascularisation) andreducing inflammation. Prolotherapy injected at the bone-tendon junction stimulates new collagen and strengthens the tendon insertion. All injections performed under ultrasound guidance.

Nerve Pain in the Foot

Morton’s Neuroma, Tarsal Tunnel and Peripheral Neuropathy

For foot pain with a nerve component – including Morton’s Neuroma, tarsal tunnel syndrome, plantar nerve entrapment and peripheral neuropathy – we offer three targeted treatments that address the nerve directly.

Ultrasound Guided Hydrodissection involves the precise injection of a natural dextrose solution around the affected nerve under live ultrasound guidance, mechanically separating the nerve from the surrounding tissue that has compressed or entrapped it. Particularly effective for Morton’s Neuroma and tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Neuro Prolotherapy (Perineural Injection Therapy) involves precise subcutaneous micro injections of a 5% dextrose solution along the superficial nerve pathways in the foot and lower leg, calming hypersensitised nerve fibres and reducing neurogenic inflammation.

Methylcobalamin B12 Injection Therapy is delivered directly around the affected nerve under ultrasound guidance, targeting the active neurological form of B12 precisely at the nerve interface where remyelination and repair is needed. Particularly relevant for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, post-viral neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. The three treatments are frequently combined for comprehensive and lasting results.

Foot and Ankle Joint Pain

Arthritis, Joint Pain and Ankle Instability

Arthritis, joint degeneration and ankle instability in the foot respond well to regenerative injection therapy. Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment that strengthens weakened ligaments and repairs damaged tendons – injecting a natural dextrose solution at the bone-tendon and bone-ligament junctions to stimulate the body’s own healing response. It is highly effective for chronic ankle instability, ligament laxity and joint degeneration in the foot. Prolozone delivers medical-grade ozone directly into the affected joint to reduce inflammation, improve oxygenation and support cartilage health. Both treatments are performed under ultrasound guidance.

Foot Pain from the Spine

Sciatica and Spine-Referred Foot Pain

Foot pain is not always caused by a problem in the foot itself. Sciatica – compression of the sciatic nerve or a nerve root in the lower back – can cause pain, weakness, tingling and numbness that travels from the lower back through the leg and into the foot and toes. Treating the foot in isolation will not resolve pain that originates in the spine.

Spinal Decompression Therapy applies computer-controlled traction to create negative intradiscal pressure, drawing herniated disc material away from the nerve root and allowing nutrients and oxygen back into the disc to restart healing from within. We have been performing Spinal Decompression since 2012 with over 15,000 cases and a 90% success rate. Prolozone and Prolotherapy to the paravertebral and sacroiliac structures address the underlying instability driving the nerve compression.

Injection Therapy

Methylcobalamin B12 Injection Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy

For patients with peripheral neuropathy generating burning, tingling, numbness or hypersensitivity in the feet – particularly where conventional medication has not provided adequate relief – Methylcobalamin B12 injection therapy delivered to the affected nerve interface offers a clinically meaningful approach to nerve repair.

Methylcobalamin is the active neurological form of Vitamin B12 – the form the nervous system actually uses for nerve cell metabolism, myelin sheath maintenance and nerve conduction. When administered by standard oral supplement or intramuscular injection, the amount reaching the peripheral nerves of the foot at a therapeutic concentration is limited.

At Proback we deliver Methylcobalamin B12 in combination with Hydrodissection – injecting it directly around the affected nerve in the foot under live ultrasound guidance. This targets the B12 precisely at the nerve interface where remyelination and repair is needed, at a concentration and localisation that the systemic route cannot achieve.

B12 injection therapy for peripheral neuropathy is widely practised in neurology and pain medicine worldwide. Combined with our Neuro Prolotherapy and Prolozone approach it forms part of the most comprehensive non-surgical treatment programme for peripheral foot neuropathy available in London.

Particularly relevant for: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, post-viral neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and any presentation of burning feet, tingling, numbness or night pain in the feet and lower legs.

FAQs

The most effective approach for plantar fasciitis combines Prolotherapy to the fascia insertion, Prolozone to reduce inflammation and improve tissue oxygenation, and Shockwave Therapy to break down scar tissue and stimulate blood flow. A thorough assessment is needed to confirm the diagnosis and identify any contributing factors from the knee, hip or lower back. Most patients begin to notice improvement within the first two to three sessions.

Yes. At Proback we treat peripheral neuropathy using a combination of Hydrodissection, Neuro Prolotherapy and Methylcobalamin B12 injection therapy delivered directly around the affected nerve under ultrasound guidance. This approach targets the nerve at the point where repair is needed, without systemic medication. It is particularly effective for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, idiopathic neuropathy and post-viral nerve pain.

Morton's Neuroma is a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toe. It is often caused by compression from tight footwear or high heels. At Proback we treat it with ultrasound guided Hydrodissection to release the nerve from the surrounding compressed tissue, combined with Neuro Prolotherapy to calm the sensitised nerve fibres. All procedures are performed under live ultrasound guidance.

This depends on the condition, its severity and how long it has been present. For technology treatments such as Shockwave and Laser, many patients notice meaningful improvement from the second or third session. For regenerative injections, the body's repair process continues to develop over four to six weeks following each treatment. Your practitioner will give you a realistic treatment plan at your results appointment before you commit to anything.

Morning pain that eases after a few minutes of walking is a classic presentation of plantar fasciitis – the plantar fascia tightens overnight and pulls on the heel bone insertion when you first stand. If the pain does not ease, or is accompanied by burning, tingling or numbness, a nerve component should also be assessed. A thorough examination will clarify the diagnosis and allow us to recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.

Yes. Sciatica – compression of the sciatic nerve or a lumbar nerve root – commonly causes pain, tingling, weakness and numbness that radiates from the lower back through the leg and into the foot and toes. If your foot pain is accompanied by back or leg symptoms, or if treatment directed at the foot alone has not helped, a spinal assessment should be included. We assess the full kinetic chain at consultation.

Your initial consultation is £110 and includes a full case history, clinical examination, standing X-rays where required, and a results appointment where your practitioner explains the findings and recommends a treatment plan. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment at that appointment. Same-day consultation, results and first treatment are available for patients travelling from outside London – the full process takes approximately two and a half hours.

"Proback Victoria are absolutely fantastic. I went there as a sceptic as to wheather my upper back, lower back, neck pain and foot pain would get any better than it was. I had tests done on the Mon and results on the Tues and to my utter amazement they actually found what the problem was, which brought tears to my eyes as i have spent nearly 15 years in pain with GP referrals to the nhs for physio, pain management clinic and foot health clinic, none of which helped me. So coming to Proback and having treatment on the day of my results was amazing as I actually felt pain free and posture wise I was standing at my actuall 5ft 10in height. I can't even begin to explain in greater detail how fantastic I'm feeling by being at Proback for treatments that have amazing results... the team there are truly lovely, very accommodating and always happy. My posture is corrected & improving daily, less to no back pain and my feet does not hurt upon walking ( I can walk longer periods without complaining about pain). God bless Proback Victoria!!! Anyone out there with long or short term back issues, drop your doubt's and fears and get the real help you need. You do not have to live in or with pain anymore. Just book your appointment and your on the road to great health. NOOOOO!!!! I'm not being paid or sponsored to say all this. It is my true testimony but not enough space to keep going on. Ten out of ten Proback and a great big thank you."

"During the lock-down period this year (2020) I often suffered severe sciatica pain in my right leg. It manifested itself by pain radiating down the back of the thigh and calf, the ankle and foot felt strangulated and often the sole of the foot was numb. The team at Proback gave me an individualised treatment programme with shockwave, decompression treatment and exercises. This relieved the pain gradually and the feeling in my foot came back. It means I have my life back! I am very grateful to all of the Proback team. The team at Proback is very professional, has been always friendly and empathetic and I have no hesitation in recommending them."

"I started coming here in June 2024 with a lot of back pain in my lower back which I had been carrying for several years, I couldn't stand up properly, my left foot was raised, I was assessed and given an x-ray and then advised of suitable treatment, my diagnosis was Degenerative disc disease, so basically my lower back needed stretching out, my discs were too close together and nearly touching and that had been resolved by decompression and shockwave, twice a week. This takes time for your body to adjust to, so be patient with yourself. I had this course of treatment initially for about 6 months, by which time my back had significantly improved and also I had come off pain killers I had been taking. I was then reassessed and x-rayed again, then started just having shockwave treatment as well as been given some gentle exercises to do away from the clinic. Coming to the end of 2025, I am feeling so much better, I have had another x-ray of my back and can now do things without aches or pain, and this treatment is non medicated. The staff have been brilliant, and they are very knowledgeable, and look after you.If you have a back problem, come here and someone will help and put you in a better position, don't live with pain."
