What is heel spur?

Heel spurs: An overview

Heel spurs are painful bone growths on the lower part of the heel bone. Often, heel spurs are the result of long-term misuse of the foot and Achilles tendon. Heel spurs often affect people who stand or walk a lot in their work. Symptoms typical of heel spurs are pain under or just in front of the heel and that it does not subside when the foot rests. The pain can be very limiting, so your work and leisure activities are affected

The purpose of heel spur massage

The primary goal of a heel spur massage is to relieve pain by reducing the strain on the heel bone, increasing blood circulation and reducing inflammation. This is done by releasing tension in muscles and tendons.

Benefits of choosing FasciaClinics for heel spur massage

The goals of fascia treatment

Fascia therapy is more than just a ‘feel-good’ treatment; it has concrete, measurable goals. These include reducing excessive muscle tone, promoting circulation, reducing the risk of injury, and shortening recovery time. The body becomes balanced so muscles and joints can receive a more even load. By targeting the fascia, we can help people with heel spurs recover faster and return to their activities.

How a heel spur massage works at the FasciaClinics

Preparation

Before your first visit, you will need to fill in a health form which our therapists will have access to. The therapists can then conduct a thorough review of your medical history, your current health status and what your sporting goals are. A clear picture will also emerge of your specific needs and any problem areas that need extra attention. Your first visit will start with a consultation where we will discuss your health form and your current symptoms. We will also take and scan your balance and posture to see where imbalances and compensations exist, and how these may affect you.

The treatment process

After the consultation, we start the actual fascia treatment. The treatment is done with clothes on and no oil or creams are used. The treatment is usually not painful even though it is very deep. The therapist uses both his hands and a Fascia Innovation machine that sends out deep waves in the body. These accelerate the circulation and dissolve the tightening of the fascia. In the treatment, we also adjust the pelvis and reduce tension on the joints and muscles of the legs. If we straighten out imbalances in the body, the heel spurs can go back and the function of the foot improves. A smoother body will reduce the risk of injury and speed up the body’s recovery.

After the treatment

After the treatment, it is normal to feel tired and sluggish. If the therapist deems it necessary, you may be given advice and exercises to take home. This can help you maintain your positive treatment results and speed up your healing. Remember, it is important that you are willing and consciously engage daily to experience positive changes. Otherwise, there is a high risk of problems returning.
