A member asked:
Are all diagnostic tests for heel spur done locally? what are they?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Xray: Heel spurs are visible on a lateral view of a plain film xray. Often heel spurs are an incidental finding and the pain actually occurs due to inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament attachment to the heel and heel spur.

Yes: Most testing for heel spurs involve an x-ray which can usually be done in a podiatrists office.
