Causes of Calcaneal Spur (Heel Pain): The exact cause is not known. Investigations and diagnosis: An x-ray will show the bony Calcaneal spur very clearly. Plantar fascistic is a related condition. Treatment: It is a bony projection that is a mechanical problem, which may require surgical rem...
A heel spur occurs when extra bone forms on the heel bone. It’s common in people who have chronicplantar fasciitis(when the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot and supports your foot arch becomes inflamed) orAchilles tendinitis(irritation of the fibers that form the Achi...

The pain is localized to an area that the examiner identifies as the medial calcaneal tubercle near the inside of the foot where the heel and arch meet. This bony prominence serves as the point of origin of the anatomic central band of the plantar fascia and three muscles between the heel ...
Calcaneal enthesopathy: Calcaneal enthesopathy affects the entheses at the heel bone (calcaneus). Key conditions include: Plantar fasciitis: Inflammation at the insertion of the plantar fascia into the calcaneus, causing heel pain.
