Question 1

what is treatment for heel spurs?

Accepted Answer

Keep in mind: That most commonly the pain of heel spurs is actually plantar fasciitis. Spurs rarely need to be treated, as they aren't on a weightbearing surface.  Pf is an inflammation of the plantar fascia where it attaches to the heel.  Spurs are a calcification of this attachment.  Treatment is a combination of orthotics, stretching, icing, cortisone, night splints and more.  Surgery is infrequently needed.
