Heel Spur Recovery
Sharp pain under the heel caused by a bony outgrowth, often linked to chronic foot strain.
Condition Overview
A heel spur is a bony projection that can develop on the underside of the heel bone. It is often associated with plantar fasciitis and causes sharp, stabbing pain under the heel, especially during the first steps in the morning.
Why It Happens
Heel spurs are caused by calcium deposits forming when the plantar fascia is pulled away from the heel bone. This stretching and tearing of the membrane is often a response to repetitive micro-trauma from flat feet, poor footwear, or high-impact activities.
Common Symptoms
- Sharp, knife-like pain under the heel when waking up
- Dull ache in the heel throughout the day
- Inflammation, swelling, or warmth at the bottom of the heel
- Tenderness when touching the heel bone
Root Causes
- Strain on foot muscles and ligaments from walking or running
- Repeated impact on hard surfaces
- Wearing worn-out or poorly fitting shoes lacking arch support
- Excess weight putting strain on the plantar fascia

Expected Outcomes
