Bone Spurs and Plantar Fasciitis

Bone spurs in the heels are quite painful. Often times, the bone spur disrupts tissue in the foot, and the body's natural way of fixing that is with inflammation. The inflammation surrounding the tendons in the foot becomes painful, and this in turn is a major cause of plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis pain can be partially combated with warm compresses and cold therapy braces - these work to decrease swelling in the tendon and alleviate pain.
