Local ice applications both reduce pain and inflammation. Antiinflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or injections of cortisone are often helpful. Orthotic devices or shoe inserts are used to take pressure off plantar spurs (donut-shaped insert) and heel lifts can reduce stress on the Achilles tendon to relieve painful spurs at the back of the heel. Similarly, sports running shoes with their soft, cushioned soles can be helpful in reducing irritation of inflamed tissues from both plantar fasciitis and heel spurs.

Shoe inserts MIGHT ease the pain a Little, but they will Not make the heel spur go away. Get to a Chinese Herbalist, Natural Therapist. This is Your BEST BET to Get Rid of it!! IF he/she cannot fix your problem,they will refer you to the appropriate medical practitioner who can. You may require Cordizone shots. These are Very Painful, but DO get rid of the pain for a while, but, only the pain goes. There are Natural Therapies along with electro treatments that WILL get Rid of the heel spur. Be Warned though,,, It will take a lot of time & pain. The alternative is you put some shoe inserts in your shoes, live with the pain, & go cripple after a few years. It's YOUR CHOICE, But I know what I'd choose, again. OK, I know this one…. Shoe inserts MIGHT ease the pain a Little, but they will Not make the heel spur go away.
