Who Is at Risk for Developing Heel Spurs?

Athletes are particularly susceptible to heel spurs, especially those who frequently run on hard surfaces like pavement. You may also be more likely to develop heel spurs if you have a structural imbalance in the feet or wear shoes that lack proper support.

How Should You Treat Your Heel Spur Pain?

While heel spurs can cause discomfort, there are a variety of conservative treatment options to alleviate symptoms:

• Wearing custom orthotics
• Engaging in rehabilitation or physical therapy
• Performing strengthening and stretching exercises
• Splinting or taping the foot for better stabilization and support
• Taking over-the-counter NSAIDs to ease inflammation and pain

Most patients experience relief through these conservative measures, and it's rare for surgery to be necessary.
