Prevention

In order to avoid the appearance of heel spurs, you must take the following precautions:

• monitor your weight;
• avoid excessive stress on the feet;
• promptly treat emerging diseases of the joints and spine;
• if you have flat feet, wear only orthopedic shoes or use special insoles;
• If you have a heel injury, be sure to consult a doctor.

In addition to the tips mentioned, self-massage of the feet before bed and walking barefoot will also be useful.

A heel spur can bring significant discomfort to the usual rhythm of life of any person, so it is worth making efforts to remove it at an early stage of its appearance. Self-medication contributes to the initiation of the disease and a long healing period. Timely diagnosis and well-chosen comprehensive treatment will help you get rid of pain and avoid surgical intervention.

Heel injection for heel spurs and other diseases

The injection contains painkillers, steroids, vitamins and homeopathic remedies. All of these drugs lead to significant positive changes: relief from pain, inflammation and swelling. Regenerative processes are stimulated in tissues, and the person feels better.

To relieve severe pain, use a “medicinal cocktail” consisting of at least 2-3 drugs. This simultaneously solves two problems: quickly relieving pain and relieving inflammation.

Most often, a blockade is required for a spur on the heel. This is a very painful and unpleasant formation, which makes it very difficult to walk. Therefore, timely treatment is especially important for active people, as well as for athletes. In addition, a heel block is also required for bursitis. This is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon in the area where it attaches to the heel.

Before performing a blockade or puncture for bursitis, the doctor must clarify the indications. The medical office will promptly give you an accurate diagnosis and, if necessary, block the heel spur. Clinic specialists can perform a blockade at home.

Drug treatment

Medicines are intended to relieve characteristic symptoms - inflammation and acute pain.

The following groups of drugs are used:

• Antibiotics, agents based on nimesulide (and its analogues) - indicated in the presence of rheumatoid pathologies - effectively relieve inflammation.
• Anti-inflammatory non-steroidal agents for external use (ointment, cream, gel) - intended for local application, reduce discomfort, inhibit the inflammatory process and relieve swelling.
• Steroids for external use - hormone-based ointments are used in cases of severe inflammation that cannot be relieved with weaker medications.
• Injections of hormonal drugs (local) - the injection is painful, as it is injected directly into the most damaged point. Hormones are combined with an anesthetic (Betamethasone, Novocaine) and used in particularly difficult cases. The result is noticeable after 1 injection, but sometimes repeated administration of the drugs is required. The most popular hormonal drugs for the treatment of heel spurs are Hydrocortisone, Dirospan.

For more effective treatment, medications are supplemented with physiotherapy. Complex use significantly improves the result.

Causes of heel spurs

The direct cause of heel spurs is plantar fasciitis.

. This fasciopathy is a multifactorial pathology. The onset of the disease and its further progression depends on many factors. Causes of heel spurs include:

• congenital or acquired flat feet;
• chronic injuries and diseases of the joints of the lower extremities and spine, due to which the normal distribution of load over the entire area of ​​the foot is disrupted;
• intensive physical training (both classes with heavy weights and ballet and dance classes);
• overweight;
• age-related changes (hormonal levels, metabolism, as well as the quality of blood supply in the lower extremities);
• pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, internal organs and metabolism (rheumatism, gout, diabetes mellitus and others), as well as autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis);
• vascular diseases (varicose veins, atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities and others);
• incorrect gait, uncomfortable shoes (too narrow or high heels);
• professional activities associated with long periods of standing (standing work, courier profession, teachers, etc.);
• factors associated with pregnancy, especially multiple or complex pregnancies;
• prolonged depression, stress and other psycho-emotional causes of heel spurs;
• posture disorders;
• the presence of foci of chronic infection in the body, as well as past infectious diseases;
• long-term use of hormonal drugs;
• the presence of local inflammatory processes in the foot and lower leg;
• hereditary predisposition;
• bad habits;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• individual constitutional characteristics;
• unfavorable environmental situation

The rate of increase in symptoms and growth of the spine is individual in each case and depends on the causes of the heel spur. In the initial stages, there is practically no pain - up to 3-4 years can pass from the onset of the disease to the appearance of pronounced symptoms

. Pain syndrome with heel spurs is formed under the influence of several factors:

• the appearance of microcracks on the heel spur;
• compression of blood vessels and disruption of tissue trophism;

• women over 40 years of age and people of retirement age;
