I have heel spurs on my foot and causing a lot of pain. what is the best treatment for it?

POSS TRIGGER POINTS: It is possible that the heel spurs are a result (rather than a cause) of the pain. The pain could be caused by trigger points in the gastrocnemius, soleus, or other calf musles that refer pain into the heel. Also check the piriformis.

Heel Spur: You need to see a podiatrist for evaluation and treatment. Based on the level of pain and discomfort, there are many treatments that are available, ranging from simple icing and stretching to injections and possible surgery. Once evaluated a right treatment course can be carved out for you to make you feel a lot better.

Combo treatment. : If you have plantar fasciitis, and hurt most with the first few steps in the morning, the more you can do together, the better: #1: supportive shoes. #2: firm inserts or orthotics. #3: oral antiinflammatories (check with your doctor). #4: stretching your foot and calf. #5: icing (10 min at a time). You may also need physical therapy or cortisone injections, or eswt if available in your area.

Spurs: If you have heel spurs and have tried all conservative methods have failed then you might consider surgery because you always get plantar fascitis alond with the spur. But again, try all treatment options before surgery. You have been given good advise by other doctors on heath tap.

Heel pain: All these answers are good . I find that orthotics work the best in my practice. I rarely perform surgery on these - the orthotics are that successful. See your podiatrist for assistance . I also use injection therapy and taping and nite splints as a run up to dispensing orthotics.
