Main menu HEEL PAIN or "HEEL SPURS" This is one of a number of Medical Checkpoints giving information about common conditions and what you can do about it. Your opinion and reaction to these Medical Checkpoints would be valued and appreciated. Medical Checkpoints are published periodically by The NEWSTART Healthcare Community Clinic and are provided as a free service of your community clinic. Drop us a line or give us a call. The address is 6553 California Avenue SW, Seattle WA 98136. Our phone number is (206) 935 5696. Doctor Foster's email address is rf@tx3.com. DEFINITION The medical name is " Plantar fasciitis" . The plantar fascia is the strong band of tissue that runs between your heel bone and the base of your toes. "Itis" means inflammation which causes pain. The following definition is by E. W. Paice, and B. I. Hoffbrand, from Whittington Hospital, London, as appeared in the British edition of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Vol. 69-B, No. 1, January 1987, pp. 38-40 in the article entitled: "Nutritional Osteomalacia Presenting with Plantar Fasciitis": The term plantar fasciitis refers to the clinical syndrome of heel pain with tenderness of the under surface of the heel at the point of insertion of the plantar fascia into the calcaneal tuberosity (Furey 1975).

HEEL-LITE
Plantar fasciitis treatment, heel spur treatment
Pre-molded Orthotics:
(NON-PRESCRIPTION)
Recommended a semi-rigid orthotic designed for the treatment and prevention of plantar fasciitis, heel pain, heel spurs, plantar fascitis.
Shell Specifications - utilizes a 4.0 mm polymer shell (posted in a neutral position) that never loses shape or memory. A special heel cutout (in the shell) is filled with a gel pressure relief pad that cushions the heel spur area.
Top Cover - provided with a cellular cushioning system and a felt top surface. The cellular cushioning system has a breathable surface that allows moisture and air to pass through, providing a cool, dry surface. The cushioning material is treated with biocide additive that retards the growth of bacteria and fungus, therefore reducing foot odor. The felt top surface is in-line bonded to the cellular sponge, and cannot delaminate.
Therapeutic Benefits - the orthotic shell provides semi-rigid arch support and control to reduce pronation. This motion (when the arch collapses too much and the foot rotates too far inward) is believed to be a major culprit of plantar fasciitis, plantar fascitis, heel spurs and heel pain. The special gel pad in the shell provides heel spur cushioning. The cellular cushioning system top cover provides added shock absorption, comfort and protection.

Ortho-Dynamics Orthotics Laboratory has designed, engineered and manufactured high quality foot orthotics since 1988. This is our only business. Our core business is the fabrication of custom (prescription) orthotics, servicing Podiatrists, Orthopedists and other Foot Care Specialists throughout the United States and Canada. In 1997, in an attempt to provide the consumer with high quality off-the-shelf shoe inserts, we introduced a line of pre-molded orthotics . Most off-the-shelf shoe inserts are just insoles made from nothing more than different density cellular foams or sponge rubber materials. They may provide some shock absorption and cushioning, but little (if any) functional support and control. Our shoe inserts are true orthotics, not flimsy rubber insoles! They provide biomechanical support and control as well as shock absorption, comfort and protection; many of the same therapeutic benefits found in custom (prescription) orthotics, but at a fraction of the cost.

Bone Spur / Heel Spur / Plantar Fasciitis
Back to Top General Bone Spur / Heel Spur / Plantar Fasciitis Information A bone spur, also called a heel spur, is a pointed growth of calcium on a bone. Bone spurs most commonly occur on the heel of the foot and are usually caused by extreme stress on the heel bone. The condition, also called plantar fasciitis, results in inflammation of the plantar fascia, the ligament connecting the ball of the foot to the heel bone. If not properly treated, the continual stress on the ligament creates a bone spur on the heel at the point of attachment. Plantar fasciitis is a common problem among middle-aged adults and athletes.

heel spurs Can Be Helped Naturally . Can Arch Support Crutches, Pain Killer Drugs or Surgery Help heel spurs Naturally? . Book about Heel Spur Pain.
http://www.footarch.com/Home/heel-spurs.html
"Heel Spurs Can Be
Helped Naturally"
"Can Arch Support Crutches,
Pain Killer Drugs or Surgery
Help Heel Spurs Naturally?"
Just by definition crutches, drugs and surgery are not natural. Natural means doing it the way it was meant to be done, not some other way.
According to foot.com, "Heel spurs develop as a...growth in the heel bone due to calcium deposits that form when...pulls away from the heel. This stretching...is usually the result of...(flat feet)..."
What makes feet flat? Flat feet happen when the arch, or upward curve, of the foot disappears.
Then what? When the foot is arched, the toes are closer to the heel than when they are flat. So, when the feet are flat the heels and toes are farther apart, stretching the strong material across the bottom of the foot and pulling it away from the heel.
By using the foot correctly, the arch forms and the pulling away from the heel stops, relieving the body of stress in the area. Order "A New Foot Health Solution" Now to learn how this works.
What do doctors recommend? They recommend many things, some of which will be mentioned here. One thing is arch supports which are basically a crutch. They allow the muscles which actually are supposed to support the arch to become even weaker.

Web Authoring Picture Galleries Running Art ... Caylin Lampasona There are many forms of foot pain, but heel pain can be one of the most troubling. The most common form of heel pain in people is known as "Heel Spurs" or "Plantar Fasciitis" (pronounced PLAN-tar fashee-EYE-tiss). Many resources label them one in the same, however heel spurs and plantar fasciitis are slightly different. Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the long, flat ligament on the bottom of the foot (Plantar Fascia) stretches irregularly and develops small tears that cause the ligament to become inflamed. The pain is described as being dull aching or sharp and can be reproduced by flexing the toes upwards (dorsiflexion) and tensing the fascia. A Heel Spur is actually a type of bone growth that develops on the outside of the heel bone where the plantar fascia ligament attaches. Spurs may form when the plantar fascia becomes inflamed causing calcification or bone growth. They are often described as having a small hook shape to them, which causes pain by irritating the surrounding soft tissue. Although the plantar fascia is invested with countless sturdy 'cables' of connective tissue called collagen fibers, it is certainly not immune to injury. In fact, about 5 to 10 per cent of all athletic and exercise injuries are inflammations of the fascia, an incidence rate that in the United States would produce about a million cases of plantar fasciitis/heel spurs per year. Middle aged, overweight, and athletic individuals are more prone to plantar problems, as are non-athletic people who spend a lot of time on their feet or suddenly become active after a long period of lethargy. A recent study found that over 50 per cent of people who suffer from plantar fasciitis are on their feet nearly all day.

New Treatment Can Help Heel Spurs
Shockwave Therapy May Be Better Than Surgery
POSTED: 7:19 p.m. EDT April 10, 2002
BOSTON People from all walks of life get heel spurs nagging pain caused by inflammation in the foot. But now, a new shockwave therapy has just been approved, and studies show it can get rid of heel spur pain for good. SHOCKWAVE THERAPY For more information on the procedure, go to Dornier.com or call 1-800-367-6437. Debbie Johnson is one of two and a half million Americans who know firsthand about the pain of plantar fasciitis, commonly known as heel spurs. "You couldn't walk comfortably. You couldn't get out of bed. You couldn't step out of the car," Johnson said. Heel spurs are caused by a micro-tear in the plantar fascia, a rope-like substance that runs along the bottom of the foot. Doctors now have a new tool: shockwave therapy the same technology used to zap kidney stones. The therapy can cause subtle changes in the nerves and tissues around the tear.

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.
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.

Heel Spurs
Definition of Heel Spurs
The heel bone is the largest bone in the foot and absorbs the most amount of shock and pressure. A heel spur develops as an abnormal growth of the heel bone. Calcium deposits form when the plantar fascia pulls away from the heel area, causing a bony protrusion, or heel spur to develop. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot that runs from the heel to the forefoot. Heel spurs can cause extreme pain in the rearfoot, especially while standing or walking..
Causes of Heel Spurs
The most frequent cause is an abnormal motion of the foot called excessive pronation. Normally, while walking or during long distance running, your foot will strike the ground on the heel, then roll forward toward your toes and inward to the arch. Your arch should only dip slightly during this motion. If it lowers too much, you have what is known as excessive pronation. For more details on pronation, please see the section on biomechanics and gait.
