Historically, plantar fasciitis was associated with heel spurs, which were considered to be bony growth resulting from the pull of the plantar fascia.However, further studies have shown that a plantar heel spur does not indicate plantar fasciitis. The size of the calcaneal heel spur has no correl...

Low-dose radiotherapy is asafe and effective treatment option for patients with painful plantar calcaneal spurs. An initial aggravation of pain during or within 3months after radiotherapy was identified as unfavorable prognostic factor for the treatment outcome. Re-irradiation of patients with an ...
Occurrence of an initial aggravation of pain during or within 3 months after low-dose radiotherapy (p = 0.005), and treatment of bilateral painful plantar calcaneal spurs (p = 0.008) were identified as significant unfavorable prognostic factors on univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, the ...
43 patients with plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spurs were studied. Rhus tox. has been recommended for this condition but gave disappointing results. Most patients with relatively recent symptoms responded to Thiosinaminum 3x. Patients with longer standing symptoms responded to Thiosinaminum 3x ...
