Heel Spurs Treatment

A heel spur is a bony growth that forms on the underside of the heel bone, often associated with chronic plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers effective heel spurs treatment in Indore to relieve discomfort and address the underlying cause.

About Heel Spurs Treatment

Heel spurs develop gradually as calcium deposits build up on the heel bone, often in response to long-standing strain from the plantar fascia. While a heel spur itself is frequently painless, it is commonly associated with plantar fasciitis, and the inflammation of the surrounding soft tissue is usually the true source of pain. Effective treatment focuses on addressing this underlying inflammation rather than the bony spur alone.

Symptoms of Heel Spurs Treatment

• Pain at the bottom of the heel, especially in the morning
• Discomfort that worsens with prolonged standing or walking
• Tenderness when pressing on the heel
• Pain that may radiate along the arch
• Inflammation of the surrounding tissue

Causes of Heel Spurs Treatment

• Chronic plantar fasciitis and repetitive heel strain
• Tight calf muscles and Achilles tendon
• Obesity increasing pressure on the heel
• Abnormal foot arch, either flat or high
• Long-term standing on hard surfaces

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination of the heel and foot arch
• X-ray to confirm the presence and size of the spur
• Ultrasound to assess plantar fascia thickening
• Assessment of gait and footwear

Treatment Options

• Stretching exercises for the calf and plantar fascia
• Supportive footwear and cushioned heel inserts
• Anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief
• Corticosteroid injections for persistent inflammation
• Surgical spur removal in rare, resistant cases
