I had heel spurs 16 years ago. Had the awful cortisone shots, was also fitted with special prosthesis nothing worked. I even did the recommended exercises.
One day I saw a doctor wearing interesting looking sneakers. They had a spring as a heel. I imagined how this spring in the heel can decrease the pressure that I have on my heel spurs.
Sure enough as soon as I tried them in the store I cried cause my pain was gone!!!
2 other friends bought them too and sure enough we all got cured in 3 to 6 months.
The magical shoes: zcoils!

I have been told by my foot Surgeon That there are other options before surgery for heel spurs. Low dose radiation Therapy, Injections of platelets (Not steroids), Shock therapy from Podiatrist. The low dose radiation and shock therapy were recommended before Surgery.

In reply to Cheri B.. Chipped/fractured dorsal bone spur by Achilles last Saturday and podiatrist has me in a Cam walker boot . I felt a sharp jagged pain four times during the week and it was when I was barefoot in my apartment. I no longer go barefoot except when time for shower and bed. My follow-up appointment is on Monday July 29th. I am trying to stay positive but I am internally freaking out.

In reply to Peggy Smith. I have a broken off posterior heel spur that’s causing me pain daily. I developed this after having plantar fasciitis for over a year. I did everything to treat it. Ice, heat, low dye taping, stretching, new shoes (10 pair to date), numerous insoles, compression socks, tennis balls, frozen bottles of ice, massage ect. I ended up getting cortisone injections to both heels. This helped for 3 months but the left foot developed a spur on the backside of the heel. Once the med wore off the pain came back differently. I no longer suffer from PF pain but I have the posterior heel pain from the Achilles spur. Wearing air boot now. Off to a specialist tomorrow for answers.

In reply to Brandie. My husband had confirmed heel spurs over 10yrs ago. He started rolling his foot on a vegetable or soup can for 15-30 sec. before his feet touched the floor N the AM or after sitting for a spell. He got some reall good work boots. Before long his spurs were gone. Hasn't had any pain for years now.
