What are Heel Spurs?
Heel spurs are bony protrusions that form on the underside of the heel bone, often developing alongside plantar fasciitis. They can lead to sharp, stabbing pain—especially during your first steps in the morning or after extended rest. Common causes include repetitive impact, excess body weight, and unsupportive footwear. Left unmanaged, heel spurs can cause chronic discomfort and affect your mobility.
