Heel Spur Syndrome

Unlike other chronic foot and heel conditions, heel spur syndrome does not directly cause pain. Heel spur syndrome is the result of another condition called plantar fasciitis, which is the inflammation of the main ligament across the bottom of your foot that is responsible for movement and support. When you have this condition, small spurs of calcium will deposit themselves on the heel bone. This is heel spur syndrome.

So what can you do to treat and prevent heel spur syndrome? You have to start by treating the plantar fasciitis. This means providing relief to the bottom of your foot by buying more supportive footwear, or by losing weight if you are overweight.
