Heel Pain/Heel spur is another name for a calcaneal spur. The heel bone is the calcaneus. Under this bone, calcium deposits start to form when it experiences persistent pressure; if the pressure persists, the calcium deposits start to assume the form of spurs, which are painful. The defining characteristic is pain when standing or walking. Individuals who walk on uneven ground or must stand for extended periods of time put pressure underneath the heel bone, which eventually leads to the development of calcaneal spurs.
A calcaneal spur is an expansion of calcium around the ligaments and tendons of the foot. It develops from the foot’s bone into its flesh.
This eventually results in hardening of the soft tissue surrounding the heel.
Heel spur/Heel Pain symptoms include discomfort in the heel and surrounding area. After a long period of rest, if the patient sits up, they may experience abrupt heel discomfort. The pain is worse when they first move after they wake up in the morning. When standing still for a long time, running, or walking continuously, heel discomfort is also noticed to increase.
Ayurvedic foot issues are treated by addressing the underlying cause of the pain and irritation. Treatment options for this problem include several heat modalities, certain spot methods, and specialised inside medications to dissolve the bony projection that is the source of the pain. Along with relaxation, particular yoga poses, and particular herbal preparations, treatments to reduce inflammation and reestablish balance can all be employed as a part of a holistic therapy plan.
