Heel Spurs
A bony growth that can cause significant heel pain.
Heel spurs are calcium deposits that form on the underside of the heel bone. They develop gradually over months and are often associated with plantar fasciitis. Not all heel spurs cause pain â treatment focuses on addressing the underlying inflammation.
