Heel Spur/ Calcaneal Spur is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Continued overstrain of plantar fascia results in stripping of periosteum from its origin at the calcaneus. The gap thus formed is filled by the proliferation of bone resulting in formation of a bony spur to secure the detached attachment.
It is a process that occurs over a prolonged period. The process may be triggered by different factors. It can be by a ligament or muscle strain in the foot or by stretching the plantar fascia. The pain can extend further to include the side of the heel and the arch of the foot. Calcaneal Spur is more commonly seen in women. It is also found frequently found in overweight individuals.
