Heel spurs can be debilitating. These pointed growths of bone can form on the heel bone, and they can cause a lot of discomforts when walking or standing. Heel spurs are often caused by overuse, so if you're someone who often finds yourself on your feet, you may be at risk. Thankfully, there are simple ways you can do on your own to help you cope with heel spurs.
First, try wearing supportive shoes with cushioning to help take some pressure off of your heel. You can also stretch your calf muscles regularly to help reduce strain on your heel. And finally, if the pain is really bad, you can talk to your doctor about getting a cortisone injection to help ease the inflammation. With a little care and attention, heel spurs don't have to slow you down.
