Heel Spur Treatment

What is calcaneal spur?

A calcaneal spur is also called a heel spur. The calcaneus is the heel bone. When it is met with constant pressure, calcium deposition occurs beneath this bone and if the pressure continues, the deposition takes the shape of a spur, causing pain. The characteristic feature is pain on standing or while walking. People who walk on uneven surfaces or need to stand for a long time cause pressure beneath the heel bone thus finally triggering calcaneal spur.

What does Ayurveda have to say about the Calcaneal Spur?

A calcaneal spur is the growth of calcium around the ligaments and tendons of the foot, growth will start from the bone towards the flesh of the foot. This condition is known as Vatakantaka or Padakantaka in Ayurveda. The term consists of two words Vata and Kantaka where ‘Kantaka’ refers to thorn and vata refers to vata dosha. The pricking pain is felt due to vitiated Vata. But Ayurveda provides a relieving solution. We at Dr Herbs with our herbal remedies provide heel spur treatment for pain relief.

What happens to your foot in calcaneal spur and why do you need treatment?

A small sack of fluid is present between the heel bone and the fat pad. The continuous rubbing of the bone over the deep tissue results in the inflammation of the surrounding tissue and also the bursa leading to the condition called calcaneal bursitis. Why does one require treatment? Because after a long rest if the patient stands up he/she will feel sudden pain. At Dr Herbs we aim to bring happiness back in life by relieving the pain with our Ayurvedic heel spur treatment that could be observed by long standing, running and continuous walking.
