Heel spur (Lenoir’s thorn) - PiedRéseau Aylmer
PiedRéseau Aylmer offers specialized treatment for heel spurs, also known as Lenoir’s thorn. This service is designed for individuals experiencing discomfort beneath the heel, particularly during the first steps in the morning or after prolonged sitting. Our clinic employs advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays, to accurately diagnose the presence of heel spurs and assess the condition of the plantar fascia.
Our approach to managing heel spurs focuses on alleviating discomfort and addressing associated conditions like plantar fasciitis. We provide a range of treatment options tailored to the specific needs of our patients, including the use of custom orthotics, heel pads, and other supportive measures. In cases where conservative treatments are insufficient, we may discuss surgical options as a last resort.
PiedRéseau Aylmer is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure effective diagnosis and treatment. Our clinic is committed to providing accessible care to the community, helping patients regain their mobility and comfort. We understand the impact that heel pain can have on daily life, and our goal is to support you in returning to your regular activities as quickly as possible.
The team at PiedRéseau Aylmer is led by Dr. Antoun Hajj, a podiatrist with extensive training in podiatric medicine, biochemistry, and neuroscience. He is supported by Élie Bélanger and Jean Assaf, both qualified podiatrists dedicated to providing comprehensive foot care. Together, they ensure a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan for every patient.
