Heel spurs, are bony protrusions that develop on the underside of the heel bone
Spurs on feet, often referred to as heel spurs, are bony protrusions that develop on the underside of the heel bone (calcaneus). These spurs can lead to discomfort and pain, especially during activities like walking or standing. Despite their direct correlation with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs are often misinterpreted. Many individuals experiencing heel pain assume a heel spur is the primary issue when, in fact, inflammation of the plantar fascia is typically the main culprit. Understanding the characteristics, causes, symptoms, treatments, and preventive measures for spurs on feet is essential for those affected.
