Calcaneal spur & Plantar Fascitis

Our Treatments: Calcaneal spur & Plantar Fascitis

Calcaneal spur, commonly known as a heel spur, is a bony growth that develops on the underside of the heel bone, often causing significant pain and discomfort. At Shri Balaji Family Clinic, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for individuals suffering from calcaneal spurs, focusing on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and effective pain management under the guidance of Dr. Vinod Girdhar.

Understanding calcaneal spur involves recognizing the factors contributing to its formation and the symptoms it presents. Calcaneal spurs are often associated with plantar fasciitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes. Repetitive stress, overuse, and strain on the plantar fascia can lead to the development of a calcaneal spur. Symptoms typically include sharp pain in the heel, especially when taking the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest. By conducting a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, we can accurately diagnose the presence of a calcaneal spur and its impact on your foot health.

Diagnostic approach at our clinic is thorough and aims to identify the precise cause of your heel pain. We utilize advanced imaging technologies to visualize the calcaneal spur and assess the extent of any associated soft tissue inflammation. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to develop an accurate diagnosis and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring effective pain relief and improved foot function.
