Best Treatment Options for Heel Spurs

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

I can recommend a treatment approach for heel spurs. In many cases, using a silicone cup insole combined with a good NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) can be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms and promote healing. However, if the pain persists despite these measures, a cortisone injection might be considered to further reduce inflammation.

It's important to note that surgical intervention is generally not the first-line treatment for heel spurs. Non-surgical options are typically explored first, and surgery is usually reserved for cases where conservative treatments have failed to provide relief.

Thanks
