What's a large plantar and dorsal calcanneal spurs on the foot?

Calcaneal spurs: The spur on the plantar surface of the calcaneus is duwe to chronic traction of the plantar fascia. The spur on the retro-calcaneal region is due to traction /pulling of the insertion of the achilles tendon. A precription orthotic can help in both cases as well as stretching and a night splint.

Calcium build up: The heel bone can have spurs or bone build up in many areas but most commonly to the back of the heel and to the bottom of the heel. The spur on the bottom of the heel is not normally the source of pain but the plantar facsii that is attached to it can be inflamed. The spur to the back of the heel can frequently be very painful with standing, walking, shoes or even light pressure.
