Four Common Ways to Treat a Heel Spur

Heel spurs or bone spurs form when the plantar fascia (a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot that runs from the heel to the ball of the foot) pulls away from the heel area (a condition called plantar fasciitis), causing a bony protrusion, or heel spur to develop. While most people assume the heel spur itself is the cause of pain, it is not. The plantar fascia tissue pulling away from the heel bone is the actual cause of pain, especially while standing or walking. If you have a heel spur, here are four ways to treat it.
