Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a bone growth on the heel bone. The spur usually is located on the bottom of the heel and is hook-shaped. Heel spurs can be seen and confirmed by a standard x-ray exam. Symptoms of heel spurs Heel spurs can often cause the condition called plantar fasciitis. Symptoms include pain in the heel region, especially when you take your first few steps in the morning. Pain may lessen after the first few steps, but it comes back after rest or prolonged movement. Causes of heel spurs
• Being overweight
• Abnormal foot structure-flat foot or too high of an arch
• Excessive rolling motion when walking, called over-pronation
• Placing excessive stress on the heel such as running, jogging, jumping or fast-paced walking.
Treatment is most often conservative in nature and includes:
• Rest
• Ice
• Elevation
• Stretching exercises
• Arch supports
• Custom orthotics
• Night splints
