How Your Podiatrist Can Help Diagnose and Treat Bone Spurs For Pain Relief

Heel spurs and the resulting foot pain can make even the simplest of activities difficult. Our highly qualified NYC podiatrists offer customized bone spur treatments to help you get back on your feet quickly.

A heel spur is a type of bone spur that results from overstraining foot muscles and ligaments, overstretching the plantar fascia, and repeatedly tearing the heel bone membrane. From these actions arises a calcium deposit on the underside of the heel bone.

Some factors for developing this type of bone spur include:

  • Gait abnormalities
  • Regular running or jogging on hard surfaces
  • Wearing poorly-fitted shoes
  • Wearing shoes that lack arch support
  • Being overweight
Our Award-Winning NYC Podiatrists Offer State-of-the-Art Bone Spur Treatments

At To Healthy Feet, a leading foot clinic in downtown and midtown NYC, our team of highly specialized podiatrists use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat your bone spurs.

During an in-depth consultation, we can assess your specific case and recommend the appropriate bone spur treatment, which may include physical therapy, the use of NSAIDs, or even surgical removal to eliminate any pain or discomfort.

Symptoms and Causes of Heel Spurs

You may have a heel spur and not experience any symptoms. However, for some people, heel spurs can cause pain in that part of the foot. You may feel:

  • Intermittent pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Pain that becomes worse after exercise or long periods of rest

The causes and risk factors of heel spurs include activities that put extra stress on your feet, as well as certain conditions. Some of these are:

  • Wearing shoes that lack arch support
  • Gait difficulties that put excess pressure on your heel
  • Flat feet or high arches
  • Arthritis
  • Diabetes
  • Being overweight
  • Participation in athletics, especially running or jogging, or having a job where you’re on your feet all day

If you are experiencing recurring inflammation or pain, it’s a good idea to visit your podiatrist and inquire about undergoing an x-ray or ultrasound examination of the foot.
