To be taken into account

What is calcaneal spur?

Calcaneal spur is a growth of the triangular or lance-shaped heel bone. Occurs when the plantar fascia (elastic tissue that connects the heel to the area under the toes) is subjected to excessive traction and overload generating micro-rotations in its insertion.

Causes of calcaneal spur

The calcaneal spur is caused by a build-up of calcium,which results in the formation of a "bone", after withstanding excess pressure in that part of the foot for several months.

It occurs in people who:

• They have flat or very arched feet.
• They're overweight
• They play sports with inadequate footwear and on hard surfaces.

Treatment and prevention

To prevent this ailment from occurring, it is ideal to wear suitable footwear combined with a heel that reduces the pressure on the heel, such as this one in Comforsil. If treatment has already occurred it is usually anti-inflammatory medication combined by physiotherapy treatments and the use of the appropriate Comforsil heel to reduce pain and correct calcaneal spur.
