In my office, heel spur procedure are done in office under only local anesthesia, with patients walk on the same day.
It could be general or block--your choice.
Most of the time in foot surgery, a combination of general anesthesia or conscious sedation is used in conjunction with local anesthesia
Anesthesia will depend on the procedure performed. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for specifics of your case
Depending on the surgery and your general medical condition heel surgery can be done under local, regional, or general anesthesia.
