how would one treat a patient with bilateral heel spurs.
Hi Maposat,
There are 2 kinds of Heel spurs orplantar fasciitis:
1.Primary plantar fasciitis-results from a mechanical overload of the plantar fascia by the sum of intrinsic and extrinsic loads
2. Secondary plantar fasciitis-the result of direct trauma to the fascia and systemic diseases, like arthritis, that may effect the attachment of the fascia to the heel bone (calcaneus).
Treatment options for Primary Plantar Fasciitis are:
• Biomechanical methods
•
• Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy
• Surgery
For Secondary Plantar fasciitis :
Rest, Ice, Elevation (RICE) immobilization and wound care.
Here are some stretches to reduce heelpain.
