Calcaneal spur is a bony outgrowth on the heel bone commonly seen in people with long-standing heel pain. It is very common in teachers, runners, overweight individuals and people who stand for long hours. It occurs when continuous stress on the plantar fascia and heel fat pad causes inflammation and calcium deposition at the insertion point, leading to sharp pain under the heel.
It develops due to tight calf muscles and plantar fascia, prolonged standing on hard surfaces, poor footwear without arch support, flat feet or high arches, overweight, and repetitive running or jumping. Patients typically report sharp, stabbing pain in the heel with the first few steps in the morning or after long sitting, pain that worsens after standing or walking for a long time, and tenderness on pressing the heel.
At Physionautics, Vasant Vihar, we have helped 150+ patients walk pain-free without injections with an evidence-based approach. Our assessment includes heel pain pattern analysis, plantar fascia and calf tightness testing, foot arch and gait analysis, footwear assessment, and ankle mobility evaluation to find the exact root cause.
Our treatment is personalized and includes pain relief with cryotherapy and therapeutic ultrasound, hands-on myofascial release and plantar fascia release, calf and soleus stretching and strengthening, foot intrinsic muscle training and arch correction, followed by taping, custom insole advice, weight management guidance and activity modification to prevent recurrence.
At Physionautics, we don't just relieve your heel pain, we correct the underlying foot and biomechanical problem for long-term, injection-free relief.
