Treatment for Calcaneal Spur at New Friends Colony-PhysioNautics
Have any pain, swelling or any other signs of inflammation in your heel; well it may be due to the development of a calcaneal spur or more commonly called heel spur. This is a condition where a prominent bony outgrowth develops over the calcaneus bone. This bony outgrowth can either be formed at the base of the heel or at the back of the heel which may further lead to different pathologies like Plantar Fasciitis & Achilles Tendinopathy respectively.
The spur that develops over the bone don\'t always leads to other pathology. This only happens if the spur is developed at the site of a muscle/tendon or if it\'s at their origin or insertion. Due to the spur developing at the site of the muscle the continuous movement of that muscles leads to it rubbing over the bony spur again & again, going into continuous wear & tear and thus leading to microtears of the musculature resulting in it\'s inflammation.
The calcaneus is a very important pathway from where many of our leg & foot muscles passes through and injury or microtrauma to these muscles may lead to the excessive traction force at the ole of the foot. These symptoms can especially be aggravated when there is excessive or abnormal pronation of foot.
