Heel spur/plantar fasciitis/heel pain

The buzz killer, and not just for athletes

Pain in the heel area can have different causes. Often there is inflammation of a connective ligament, the plantar fascia. It runs from the heel to the forefoot. With a longer course, the attachment of the ligament to the heel can ossify, so that a so-called heel spur is seen in an X-ray.

Here conservative therapy can most often help:

  • Stretching exercises
  • Orthotic inserts with padding of the heel
  • Shock wave therapy
  • Manual therapy
  • Laser treatment
  • Injections
  • Neural therapy
  • Acupuncture
  • ACP – autologous blood injections
  • Kinesio taping

If no improvement is seen with conservative therapy, in exceptional cases an operative treatment with cutting of the fascia is required, and, if necessary, also removal of a larger heel spur.
