How long does it take to get rid of a heel spur?
Good afternoon, Spurs are bony outgrowths that usually present as some type of stress or repetitive activity. Since it is a bone, it maybe difficult to say get rid of it. You can do therapy on the leg and foot and find a facility that does shock wave therapy. All these treatments will hopefully help by taking tension off the tissues and reduce the pain the spur is causing. I hope this helps and answers some of your questions. READ MORE
