A calcaneal spur, also known as a heel spur, is a bony growth that forms on the underside of the heel bone. It often develops due to repetitive stress or strain on the foot and is commonly associated with plantar fasciitis, a condition that causes inflammation in the foot's arch.
Sharp pain in the heel, especially when standing or walking
Swelling in the heel
Difficulty walking or running
Pain that worsens after rest
Repetitive Pressure:
Overuse of the foot due to running or standing for long periods.
Foot Mechanics:
Abnormal foot structure or gait can cause excess stress on the heel.
Obesity:
Extra weight increases pressure on the feet.
Improper Footwear:
Shoes that don’t provide proper support can contribute.
Aging:
Wear and tear on the foot as you age increases the risk of spur formation.
