Heel Spurs

Heel spurs CAN be healed. Pun intended. Get it? Heel / Heal. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? 

Heel spurs are painful. Most people suffering from heel spur syndrome don’t quite know what they should do about it once it has become a regular part of walking and exercise. Suffering with heel spurs doesn’t have to be a part of your daily life any longer. 

According to Web MD, the most frequently checked news source in the public health community, there are several risk factors associated with heel spurs:

• Walking gait abnormalities, placing excessive stress on the heel bone
• Running or jogging, especially on hard surfaces
• Poorly fitted/badly worn shoes, especially those lacking appropriate arch support
• Excess weight and obesity

Addressing these areas of concern is our number one priority in treating a patient and leading them on the journey to a happy and healthy adulthood. Dr. Arash Noor at BodyPro Chiropractic and Sports Medicine will offer their expert opinion in aiding heel spurs and strengthen your ability to remain active during your day-to-day activities! 

In addition to pain management, shoe recommendations and shoe inserts or orthotic devices may be added tools to traditional physical therapy practices such as stretching exercises; taping or strapping to rest muscles and tendons; and, finally, night splints.
