A calcaneal spur is a bony growth on the heel bone that often causes pain in the heel, especially when walking or standing. The main cause is repetitive stress on the foot, especially if it is misaligned or overweight. Treatment may include rest, orthotics, physical therapy, and in some cases anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, surgery to remove the spur may be considered.

Rest and wearing shoes with good foot support are important if you have a calcaneal spur. Ice treatments can reduce swelling. Physical therapy can provide exercises to strengthen foot muscles and improve mobility. Insoles can help reduce pressure on the heel. Pain-relieving medications can be taken in consultation with a doctor. If symptoms persist, an orthopedist or physiotherapist should be consulted.
