HEEL SPURS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
A heel spur is a foot condition created by a bone-like growth called a calcium deposit. Heel pain is the most common symptom.
Heel spurs often start at the front and bottom of your heel. They eventually affect other parts of your foot. They can reach up to half an inch in length. They may not necessarily be visible to the naked eye.
Detecting heel spurs can be difficult. Heel disorders do not always cause pain and not all heel pain is related to heel spurs.
CAUZE
Heel spurs are directly caused by long-term contracture of muscles and ligaments. Eventually, this overstretching stresses the heel bones (calcaneus) causing spurs.
Heel spurs develop over time. They don’t appear suddenly after a workout or sporting event. Heel spurs tend to appear when you ignore early symptoms such as heel pain.
Repetitive stress from walking, running or jumping on hard surfaces is a common cause of heel spurs. They can also develop from wearing shoes that don’t support your foot.
Heel spurs can also be caused by:
arthritis
heel bruising
excess body weight
badly fitted shoes
walking problems
wearing flip-flops too often
worn shoes
SIMPTOME
Symptoms of heel spurs can include:
grief
inflammation
swelling in the front of the heel
The affected area may also feel warm to the touch. These symptoms may spread to the arch of the foot. Eventually, a small bony protrusion may be visible.
Some heel spurs may be asymptomatic. You may not notice any changes in the soft tissues or bones surrounding the heel. Heel spurs are often discovered only by X-rays and other tests done for another foot problem.
TREATMENT
Treatment of calcaneal spurs depends on both the cause and the symptoms our patients experience. To arrive at an accurate diagnosis, we will review your medical history and examine your foot. During this process, we will rule out all possible causes of heel pain other than heel spurs.
Examination is the key to the treatment of heel spurs. We need to examine not only the foot, but also the knee and hip joints, muscles and ligaments. In most cases, treatment must be holistic for success. The best result I have gotten from treatment has been by combining the methods of osteopathy, manual therapy, physiotherapy, and physical therapy.
