Q: What is a heel spur?

A heel spur is a bony growth on the heel bone, located either at the back of the heel or under the sole. They develop over time, with most people not realizing they have a heel spur until they seek help for heel pain.

Q: What causes heel spurs?

Heel spurs can result from stress and strain placed on your foot ligaments and tendons. Prolonged standing, wearing improper footwear, and trauma to the heel bone or surrounding tissue can cause heel spurs. Notably, plantar fasciitis may also cause heel spurs, as your body may develop a heel spur in response to stress and strain caused by plantar fasciitis.

Q: What is the fastest way to heal a heel spur?

While there is no “instant” method to curing heel spurs, having a multi-faceted approach to treatment can help efficiently manage symptoms. Icing and resting your heel can help ease heel pain. Anti-inflammatory medication and wearing proper shoes that support your arches and provide cushioning can also help.

Q: What happens if heel spurs go untreated?

Left untreated, heel spurs may cause pain each time your heel hits the ground. Besides affecting mobility, increased stress on your feet from untreated heel spurs can also worsen plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis.

Q: How do I know if I have plantar fasciitis or heel spurs?

Although they’re related conditions, plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are not the same. Plantar fasciitis pertains to the inflammation of the plantar fascia, the ligament that runs between your heel and ball of the foot. On the other hand, a heel spur is a bony growth that can form because of stress and inflammation caused by plantar fasciitis.
