Heel Spur Plantar Fasciitis Ayurvedic Natural Treatments

A heel spur refers to a condition characterized by a pointed bony outgrowth of the calcaneus bone, the bone of the heel.

The outgrowth of the bone, also called osteophytes, is attributed to the repeated trauma or chronic local inflammation at the site of insertion of the soft tissues like tendons and fascia in the part. It is usually a highly painful condition. The use of ayurvedic heel spur natural treatment may offer help to provide relief from the pain and other symptoms. [1]

Heel spurs or Plantar Fasciitis are commonly caused due to a strain injury of the tissues and tendons that attach to the calcaneus or the heel bone. It can occur after a chronic, repetitive athletic strain or stress injury.
