If you’re experiencing heel pain, it’s most likely because of plantar fasciitis and a possible heel spur. A heel spur is a protective, bony growth that forms on your heel oftentimes associated with plantar fasciitis. Heel pain can make every step you take painful, so it can be a massive disruption to your life.
If you’re experiencing heel pain you may need x-rays to rule out a heel spur. The top rated foot doctors at Advanas Foot & Ankle Specialists in Coldwater, MI, Dowagiac, MI, Paw Paw, MI, Portage, MI, Sturgis, MI and Angola, IN can help. Though many foot doctors don’t take the time to fully understand any underlying causes of your heel spur, that is not the case with our board certified foot doctors. We work collaboratively with you so that we can fully understand your condition and what the root cause of it is.
The conditions that most often cause heel spurs include:
Of course not every case of heel spurs are related to these conditions, but at Advanas Foot & Ankle Specialists, we believe in creating a treatment plan based on fully and completely understanding what is causing your heel pain.
If you have a heel spur, your foot doctor may recommend non-surgical treatment options first. If these don’t work to relieve your pain, you may be presented with the option of surgery. Typically, rest may not be the best way to deal with plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. If you walk after a prolonged period of rest, your plantar fascia elongates, which pulls on the heel causing pain.
Using a combination of tried and true treatments along with the latest technology, our foot doctors are better able to treat your heel pain than ever before. Letting your symptoms and needs guide us, along with state-of-the-art diagnostic tests, we will craft a customized treatment plan for your heel pain together.
We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all treatment, and understand that you are unique and worthy of a full investigation into the best way to help end your heel pain.
