#bonespurpain

Persistent foot pain can interfere with daily life and limit mobility. If your bone spur causes severe discomfort, swelling, or difficulty walking, it’s time to consult a podiatrist.

Signs You Need Medical Attention:

Intense pain that doesn’t improve with home care

Noticeable bump or deformity on the heel or toes

Swelling, redness, or tenderness

Difficulty walking or performing daily activities

A podiatrist can provide treatments such as physical therapy, custom orthotics, or surgical options if needed. Early intervention prevents long-term complications and allows you to stay active and pain-free.

If you’ve ever experienced sharp, stabbing pain in your heel when taking the first steps in the morning, a heel bone spur may be the culprit. These small bony growths, shown in detailed foot diagrams, often form at the bottom of the heel bone where the plantar fascia attaches.

What Causes Heel Spur

Repeated strain from walking, running, or standing

Poor or unsupportive footwear

Flat feet or very high arches

Aging or arthritis
