Heel Spurs

Your Prescription For Advanced Foot Care

Heel pain or plantar fascitis can be very painful and severely limit your activities. Untreated heel pain can persist for months even years. The condition can become gradually worse and form boney heel spurs. It has been my experience that about 80% of all patients with heel pain can be successfully treated without the need for surgical intervention.

Orthotics like eyeglasses for your vision, correct your foot position when standing, walking or running to redistribute the weight away from the tender painful areas of your foot and allow your foot to function more normally.

Symptoms include sharp pain in the bottom of the heel with the first few steps upon arising in the morning or after the first few steps after sitting for a period. Treatment options for this condition include:
