Heel Pain - Common Cause

2006-04-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

Many people who experience heel pain suffer from bone spurs in their heel -or- heel spurs.

What is a Heel Spur?
A heel spur is a growth on the heel bone (see heel spur picture). The heel spur itself has no feeling. However, when one forms, it can rub against the tissues and nerves surrounding the heel spur. This often causes inflammation of the plantar fascia and/or other tissues that the heel spur rubs against- resulting in much heel pain.

Morning Heel Pain
People who suffer from heel spurs often -but not always- have intense heel pain in the morning when getting out of bed or after others periods of rest from being on their feet. The reason for this is: As you move during the day, the nerves surrounding the heel spur adjust around the spur so that the heel spur is not digging into them. After long periods of rest, such as when sleeping, the nerves relax back into their normal position. Thus, when you get out of bed in the morning, pain can become intense as you are putting weight on the heel for the first time causing the heel spur to be pushed into the sensitive nerves and tissues.

What Causes Heel Spurs?
To eliminate a heel spur- and thus the heel pain- it is important to understand what causes a heel spur to form.

There are many hard-to-believe theories on the cause of heel spurs. After many years of hearing what works for different people, our conclusion on the matter is this:

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, but it may also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our food varies widely. One factor is age. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while in adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%.

Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent, they're just like any other body tissue - they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In an adult, 20% of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones and replaced each year, thus, every five years the bones are renewed.

Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of the body where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle- although it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell. The role of calcium is so vital in these fluids and tissues that if it's supply runs low the body will actually leach calcium from its own bones.

Many people that suffer from heel spurs heel pain find relief when they properly supplement their diet daily with "good" calcium. The reason for this is that the body, when deficient of calcium, begins to leach calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the body. As the calcium is being leached, it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the heel spur. When the body is fed the right amount of "good" calcium, the eruption subsides- along with the heel pain.

The best way to eliminate this "leaching process" (calcium deficiency) SAFELY, is to supplement your diet with a specially tested formulation of calcium along with other vital minerals. Important: The calcium must be carefully formulated to be easily digested - to accomplish the "good" calcium environment in building healthy body/bone cells.

What About Heel Spur Surgery?
Heel spur surgery may eliminate the heel spur pain temporarily. However, often times people will tell us that the heel spur will return shortly after the surgery. Even foot doctors will often say that there is no guarantee that heel spur surgery will eliminate heel spurs for good. The reason for this is because heel spur surgery doesn't get to the root of the heel spur problem.
