A heel spur is a calcification that develops on the heel bone as a result of prolonged strain, often associated with chronic plantar fasciitis. This bony growth can cause pain when putting weight on the foot, especially during the first steps of the day or after long periods of rest. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At Pie Vital, we perform a clinical and biomechanical assessment to identify the cause of the pain and apply the most appropriate treatment. The goal is to reduce heel strain, relieve symptoms, and prevent the problem from progressing. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Heel spur treatment focuses on correcting the underlying biomechanical cause. Reducing heel strain, improving pressure distribution, and treating the plantar fascia are key to relieving symptoms and preventing relapses. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
