When moving, a person always rests on his heel. Therefore, the maximum heaviness is felt precisely on the heel bone. Sometimes a ossification of bone tissue called a heel spur forms in this area where the tendons attach. The connective tissue begins to become inflamed, calcium salts slowly accumulate, which ultimately provokes pain. Often the pain is so severe that the patient cannot walk. The optimal solution to the problem is tiger eye cream or heel spur.
Tiger eye ointment for heel spurs is indicated for patients in order to reduce discomfort and relieve inflammation on the heel. The ointment contains a whole medicinal natural complex: plant extracts (horseradish, hazel, lilac, burdock root, capillary), essential oils (juniper, lemon), beeswax, castor oil and glycerin, as well as Dimethicone. Medicinal plants relieve inflammation and help reduce the load on the leg. Wax, oil and glycerin soften and warm the skin. Dimethicone (liquid silicone) reduces irritation, relieves allergies, while the skin is not dehydrated due to the formation of a protective elastic film.
First, the heel needs to be steamed a little in a salt bath. Then apply a small drop of gel to the problem area. Massaging lightly, rub it into the skin. Wait until the product is absorbed. One tube is enough for a course of treatment if you use the medicine for one week three times a day. During medical procedures, it is advisable to use an orthopedic insole and wear comfortable shoes. If the problem is not solved during this period, you can continue the medicinal procedures for another 7 days, but no more. You must strictly follow the instructions. For more competent use of the gel, it is best to determine the dosage or frequency of use only after consulting a doctor.
Ortho is suitable for most people due to the natural ingredients that it contains. It is easily tolerated and causes virtually no complications. Although sometimes patients experience an allergic reaction due to individual intolerance to some of the components of the drug. Therefore, if redness and rash occur during initial use, you should consult a doctor.
Do not apply the gel to an open wound.

The main problem that a heel spur causes is pain. Because of it, a person cannot walk normally, involuntarily unloads the leg, which causes lameness. This has a detrimental effect on the condition of the musculoskeletal system and leads to various diseases. Therefore, the doctor’s first priority is to relieve pain and reduce discomfort. This can be done in a variety of ways. The simplest and most accessible is to use a special cream that relieves the severity of pain. Tiger's Eye cream for heel spurs gives good results in this regard. This drug is produced by the Russian company MedikoMed in tubes weighing 75 g.
This remedy is recommended for use in the early stages of plantar fasciitis, when the pain is not yet too severe and the osteophytes themselves have not caused deformation of the foot. Cream alone will not give a noticeable effect. Its effect must be supplemented with other therapeutic measures. Most often, special massage and wearing orthopedic insoles are prescribed. As a rule, this complex helps to get rid of pathology at an early stage and helps to forget about heel pain. In addition, the cream is suitable for the treatment of various diseases of the spine and joints: radiculitis, arthritis, bruises, muscle pain, etc.
For lasting results, you need to apply it 2-3 times daily. The amount of the drug used varies from 5 to 20 grams, depending on the area of influence. The first effect is noticeable immediately - after 30-40 minutes the pain becomes less and the discomfort subsides. But this is a temporary feeling and after 2-3 hours everything returns. However, with consistent use of Tiger Eye cream, recurrent pain gradually becomes less pronounced and, with proper treatment, disappears completely. The greatest effect is achieved after a month of regular use in combination with other doctor’s prescriptions.
The only restriction on the use of this medication is an allergic reaction to any of the components. This can only be found out experimentally - by applying a small amount of the product to the skin. If itching and redness appear, you will have to abandon the “Tiger's Eye” treatment and find something more suitable.
“Tiger Eye ORTO” heel spur contains bischofite and blue clay, which, in turn, include many mineral salts and trace elements. Magnesium, sodium, calcium, chlorine, etc. - all this helps improve blood circulation and has a warming effect. As a result, metabolic processes are improved and the removal of salts from the human body is improved. Due to the extracts of cinquefoil and silicon-containing herbs included in the composition, the strength and elasticity of blood vessels improves. All this helps relieve inflammation and pain. Gradually, the puffiness and swelling goes away, and the leg returns to its former mobility.
In a word, with regular use:
However, it should be understood that this cream does not affect the spur itself. The bone growth remains in place and does not decrease. To remove it, stronger methods of influence are required.
You can apply Tiger Eye ORTO cream to heel spurs without prior preparation. However, it is first recommended to wash the foot, clean it of all possible contaminants and degrease it.

They will relax your legs, dilate your pores and thereby improve the absorption of medications.
