Heel Spur treatment in Guadalupe

A heel spur is a small bony growth that forms on the heel, in the area where foot tissues attach. It is frequently associated with inflammation of the plantar fascia.

Common causes: It is linked to repeated overload of the heel, inadequate footwear, excess weight, and activities that involve standing or running for long periods.

Frequent symptoms: Heel pain, especially during the first steps of the day or after periods of rest, which may ease with walking and return with exertion.

Which specialist treats it? The podiatrist and the orthopedist assess heel pain, and physical therapy often supports recovery. If the discomfort persists or limits your daily activity, it is a good idea to seek an evaluation that identifies the cause and guides care.
