Heel Spurs
Expert Heel Spur Care
Effective Treatment for Heel Pain and Inflammation
Heel spurs are bony growths that develop on the underside of the heel bone, often forming in response to long-term strain on foot muscles and ligaments. While not always painful, heel spurs are frequently associated with chronic heel pain, especially when combined with plantar fasciitis. This condition can make it difficult to walk comfortably, stand for long periods, or participate in daily activities without discomfort.
At Chapel Hill Foot & Ankle Specialists, we provide comprehensive evaluations to determine whether your heel pain is caused by spurs, inflammation, or related conditions. Based on your diagnosis, we design a personalized treatment plan that may include custom orthotics, footwear modifications, physical therapy exercises, stretching routines, anti-inflammatory treatments, or corticosteroid injections. For cases where conservative methods are not effective, surgical options may be considered to remove the spur and restore pain-free mobility.
Our goal is to relieve your heel pain, address the underlying causes, and help you return to walking and daily activities with confidence. Whether through early conservative care or advanced surgical solutions, we are dedicated to improving your comfort and supporting long-term foot health.
