Foot Bone Spurs

Causes: A bone spur (osteophyte) is a bony growth formed on normal bone. Most people think of something sharp when they think of a "spur," but a bone spur is just extra bone. It’s usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear or pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues such as ligaments, tendo ns, or nerves in the body.

Symptoms:  A bone spur forms as the body tries to repair itself by building extra bone. It generally forms in response to pressure, rubbing, or stress that continues over a long period of time.

Prevention & Care: Pressure at the back of the heel from frequently wearing shoes that are too tight can cause a bone spur on the back of the heel. Check out Performancefoot.com for the correct treatment of bone spurs.
