Description
Spur Heels is a disease of the Heels.
The excessive growth of the heel bone ( Calcaneus Bone ) is termed as Spur Heels. The bony growth may occur underside or on the back side of the heel. It is a result of deposition of calcium on the affected area.
Causes Of Spur Heels
There is a thick band of tissues that runs across the bottom of the feet, called Plantar Fascia. It provides a connection between the heel bone and the toes. If something goes wrong with this band like inflammation or injury, it causes pain. The condition is termed as Plantar Fascitis.
Normally, the Plantar Fascitis is healed by the natural process known as fibroblastic process. In this the body will heal the injured part by making collagen. The recovery may take three to four months. However, in some cases if the problem is still there in the plantar fascia, then the body will start the other mechanism. In this process, osteoblast will reach the Plantar Fascia. These cells help in making bones. As a result, the whole process will give rise to Spur Heels.
Note : The best remedy is Calcarea Fluorica 3x. It is a homeopathic medicine. The beauty of this remedy is, it only works on the enlarged bone. It has no affect on the other bones.
