“Here in Manhasset, many patients come in concerned after hearing they have a heel spur on an X-ray. In many cases, the spur itself isn’t the only source of pain, inflammation in surrounding tissues plays a major role. My focus is identifying what’s truly causing the discomfort and developing a structured plan that relieves strain and restores comfort.”

Common Symptoms of an Heel Spurs

Heel spurs are bony growths that may develop on the underside of the heel. Symptoms may include:

Sharp Heel Pain

Discomfort at the bottom of the heel, especially with weight-bearing.

Morning Discomfort

Increased pain during the first steps of the day.

Tenderness Under the Heel

Sensitivity when pressing on the affected area.

Pain After Prolonged Standing

Heel soreness following extended time on your feet.

Pain Improving with Rest

Temporary relief during inactivity.

Associated Plantar Fascia Pain

Symptoms similar to plantar fasciitis.

Heel spurs develop over time due to repetitive strain on the plantar fascia and surrounding structures. Chronic stress may lead to calcium deposits forming on the heel bone. Often, inflammation of nearby soft tissue contributes more to discomfort than the spur itself. If you are experiencing persistent heel pain, early evaluation can help determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
