Heel Spur

Heel Spur

Heel spurs are inflammation of the heel part of the foot caused by weight gain, sudden load on the sole of the foot, and the wrong shoes worn. Heel spurs cause pain in cases such as waking up in the morning, getting up while sitting during the day. In the heel part, a hard tissue similar to calcification accumulates. This tissue is a calcification-like texture. It is a pain that hurts more when you get up in the morning, but decreases as you walk during the day, as if a thorn is pricked. If there is intermittent pain during the day, this is also a symptom of heel spur. It also gives the person a feeling that makes walking difficult.

What are the Causes of Heel Spurs?

There are many reasons for the formation of heel spurs. It occurs in cases such as damage to the muscle and connective tissue of the heel for a long time, excessive load. Conditions such as overloading the heel, overexertion of the heel bone are among other causes.
