Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR What are heel spurs? How do heel spurs relate to plantar fasciitis? How are heel spurs and plantar fasciitis treated? What are heel spurs? Heel spurs are pointed bony outgrowths of the heel. They are attributed to local inflammation at the insertion of soft tissue tendons or fascia in the area. Heel spurs can be located at the back of the heel or under the heel, beneath the sole of the foot. Heel spurs at the back of the heel are frequently associated with inflammation of the Achilles tendon (tendinitis) and cause tenderness and pain at the back of the heel made worse while pushing off the ball of the foot. How do heel spurs relate to plantar fasciitis? Heel spurs under the sole of the foot (plantar area) are associated with inflammation of the plantar fascia (fasciitis), the "bowstring- like" tissue stretching underneath the sole which attaches at the heel. Plantar heel spurs cause localized tenderness and pain made worse when stepping down on the heel. Heel spurs and plantar fasciitis can occur alone or be related to underlying diseases which cause arthritis (inflammation of the joints), such as

Heel Spurs: Heel spurs are generally located on the bottom surface of the heel bone . In some situations they may actually be located on the bottom side portion of the heel bone. Sometimes they aren¹t exactly shaped like what they are referred to, as a little spur on the bottom of the bone. There have been situations where you can actually be born with a heel spur or heel spurs can be developed. Heel spurs may actually grow on the heel bone due to a number of situations, such as impact to the bottom of the heel bone, possibly motion or friction primarily in the area of the heel bone. A heel spur is actually a type of bone growth that develops on the outside of the bone. A heel spur may actually have a small hook shape to it and they are generally located, but not always, where the plantar fascia ligament attaches to the bottom of the heel bone . In some situations, the heel spur can be on the inside of the heel bone or on the opposite side, the outside of the heel bone. The heel spur , because it is part of the bone, actually has no feeling in it. The pain that is generated from the heel spur is due to the soft tissue around the heel spur that gets irritated and inflamed and bruised. This is what creates the heel pain from the spur itself.

It is a condition in which the bottom of the heel is extremely painful. A heel spur is a bony overgrowth on the bottom of your heel bone. The heel spur is usually a result of an inflamed ligament (plantar fascia) on the bottom of the foot that attaches to the heel bone. Constant abnormal pulling of this ligament irritates the heel bone and the body lays down a bone spur as a protective mechanism. The patient usually complains of pain with the first step in the morning, some relief following activity, but returning after extended amounts of time standing or walking. This condition is a constellation of many causes; overweight, ill fitting shoes, bio-mechanical problems (mal-alignment of the heel), gout, pronation (a complex motion including outward rotation of the heel and inward rotation of the ankle) and

29. Heel Spur Syndrome In most cases heel spurs are treated to relieve the pain using a mixture of local anesthetic and corticosteriods which is injected into the heel. http://wawa.essortment.com/heelspurwhere_rqea.htm

Heel spur syndrome An intense, sharp pain at the bottom of the heel may be caused by a heel spur. Learn what a heel spur is and how it is treated. The heel of a persons foot consists of the heel bone, a pad of fat which acts as a protective cushion and a layer of thickened skin. An intense, sharp pain at the bottom of the heel may be caused by a heel spur. This growth of extra bone on the calcaneus or heel bone is believed to form when the connective tissue that extends from the heel bone to the base of the toes pulls excessively on the heel. As this extra bone forms it causes a continuous pain that seems to become less painful as the foot adjusts to it. Certain disorders such as an abnormal flatness of the arch and sole of the foot, as well as those that cause the heel cord to always be contracted can increase the risk of heel spur. bodyOffer(17950) During the time that a heel spur is developing it can be especially painful while a person is walking. From time to time a fluid pocket called a bursa will develop beneath the spur causing inflammation. Known as inferior calcaneal bursitis, this condition will usually cause a throbbing type of pain. But it is possible for a bursa to form even when a heel spur is not present. As the heel spur develops the pain may diminish becoming very painful if the area is injured. This is often known to occur in those who play sports. A heel spur can be diagnosed by a doctor during any ordinary physical examination. By pressing the center of the heel the doctor will find a painful area when a heel spur is present. In most cases an x-ray will be taken to confirm the diagnosis even though newly formed spurs may not be detected.

Dr. Stephen M. Pribut's Sport Pages Sports Medicine Home Chess Shoes Comprehensive Site Listing ... Office Heel Pain: Heel Spur Syndrome and Plantar Fasciitis by Stephen M. Pribut, DPM Heel spur syndrome is the best known heel problem, but plantar fasciitis is the most frequently encountered cause of heel pain. A heel spur is a focal point of bone growth on the heel. The bone growth usually extends forward towards the toes. Heel spurs are visible on X-ray. Plantar fasciitis, the most common heel problem seems to be caused by a painful partial tearing of the plantar fascia which connects the area of the foot near the toes with the heel. This partial tear usually occurs at its attachment into the heel bone (calcaneus) which results in either a heel spur forming (from the injured bone attempting to heal itself) or in plantar fasciitis. The term plantar fasciitis is derived from plantar which refers to the bottom of the foot and fascia which is a type of dense fibrous connective tissue. The "itis" is a suffix which means inflammation. Latest studies show that in many cases of plantar fasciitis there really is no inflamation, but rather an avascularity ( loss of blood circulation ). This may be similar to what has been termed Achilles Tendinosis (rather then tendinitis).

Encyclopedia Index H Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index H Heel spurs Definition A heel spur is a bony projection on the sole (plantar) region of the heel bone (also known as the calcaneous). This condition may accompany or result from severe cases of inflammation to the structure called plantar fascia. This associated plantar fascia is a fibrous band of connective tissue on the sole of the foot, extending from the heel to the toes. Description Heel spurs are a common foot problem resulting from excess bone growth on the heel bone. The bone growth is usually located on the underside of the heel bone, extending forward to the toes. One explanation for this excess production of bone is a painful tearing of the plantar fascia connected between the toes and heel. This can result in either a heel spur or an inflammation of the plantar fascia, medically termed plantar fascitis. Because this condition is often correlated to a decrease in the arch of the foot, it is more prevalent after the age of six to eight years, when the arch is fully developed. Causes and symptoms One frequent cause of heel spurs is an abnormal motion and mal-alignment of the foot called pronation. For the foot to function properly, a certain degree of pronation is required. This motion is defined as an inward action of the foot, with dropping of the inside arch as one plants the heel and advances the weight distribution to the toes during walking. When foot pronation becomes extreme from the foot turning in and dropping beyond the normal limit, a condition known as excessive pronation creates a mechanical problem in the foot. In some cases the sole or bottom of the foot flattens and becomes unstable because of this excess pronation, especially during critical times of walking and athletic activities. The portion of the plantar fascia attached into the heel bone or calcaneous begins to stretch and pull away from the heel bone.

Home About Us Ask Our Foot Doctor Custom Orthotics ... Contact Us CARING FOR YOUR FEET Plantar Fasciitis The two most common causes of heel pain are heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. The chief diagnostic sign of these problems is: pain in the bottom of the heel or arch when first standing, which gradually improves with walking. This pain may return with continued walking. The treatment involves correcting the underlying causitive problems. Please read the following section for more information on the problem and its treatment. Description: The two most common causes of pain in the bottom of the heel and arch are heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is the thick ligamentous band in the bottom of the foot which is attached to the heel, and runs forward to insert into the ball of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of this band at its attachment to the heel. Symptoms: Plantar fasciitis pain is usually located in the center or the inner side of the bottom of the heel. The pain is most intense when first standing, after any period of rest. Most people with this problem experience their greatest pain in the morning, with the first few steps after sleeping. After several minutes of walking, the pain becomes less intense and may disappear completely, only to return later with prolonged walking or standing. If a nerve is irritated due to the swollen plantar fascia, this pain may radiate into the arch or the ankle. Causes: Each time we take a step forward, all of our body weight first rests on the heel of one foot. As our weight moves forward, the entire foot begins to bear the body's weight, and the foot flattens and this places a great deal of pressure and strain on the plantar fascia. There is very little "give" to the plantar fascia, so as it stretches only slightly, it pulls on its attachment to the heel. If the foot is properly aligned this pull causes no problems. However, if the foot is "pronated" (the foot rolls inward, causing a break down of the inner side of the shoe), the arch falls excessively, and this causes an abnormal stretching of the relatively inflexible plantar fascia, which in turn pulls abnormally hard on the heel.

40. Heel Spurs Causing Foot Pain Dear Dr. Dave, I am an early middleaged female who is experiencing on going pain from what my doctors have told me is “heel spurs”. http://www.drdaveanddee.com/heel.html

Dear Dr. Dave, I am an early middle-aged female who is experiencing on going pain from what my doctors have told me is “heel spurs”. Actually, she told me the medical name for it, but I can’t remember what it was. Anyway, I have pain along the sole of my foot and heel, especially during walking. I have tried orthotics for a number of years and they are no longer helping me. My doctor states I have to live with it for the rest of my life. I am asking you for your suggestions. Thank you. Gimpin’ in Atlanta Dear Atlanta, This might be a good time to talk a little bit about “heel spurs,” the condition which is properly known as “plantar fasciitis.” This is an inflammation of the ligamentous structures along the sole of the foot, which causes pain especially with stretching, which occurs unfortunately with just about every step. It can be a very painful and chronic situation. The inflammation is often made worse by overuse, poorly fitting shoes with inadequate arch support, obesity which places an increased load on the foot and other causes. Physicians diagnose plantar fasciitis, and exclude other causes of pain in the foot, by taking your history, doing a careful physical examination, and taking an x-ray of the foot. The x-ray often shows an osteophyte or exostosis on the heel bone, sometimes called a “bone spur” or “heel spur” hence the popular name.
