Heel spurs make life unbearable. How to get rid of it
“A heel spur (plantar fasciitis) is a bone growth, similar to a spike, on the plantar surface of the heel bone,” explains orthopedic traumatologist, doctor of the highest category at Clinical Hospital No. 86 Gennady Pushkov , “therefore, when supporting the heel, a person experiences severe pain, it is difficult for him take the first steps."
In 90% of cases with a heel spur, gait is impaired: in order to unload the heel, some try to walk on their toes. Well, if pain occurs in both legs at once, it becomes almost impossible to walk.
However, similar symptoms can be caused by other diseases, such as intervertebral hernia, arthrosis-arthritis. Doctors make an accurate diagnosis only after an X-ray examination of the foot. Externally, a heel spur does not appear in any way.
25% of the population of our country has a predisposition to heel spurs. Heel pain can occur both in older people due to age, and in young people due to heavy loads on the foot. With intense training in uncomfortable shoes, there is a chance in six months to end up not in a fitness club, but in an emergency room.
The disease often has a female face. Over time, lovers of stilettos risk ending up under the thumb of the disease. Pregnant women and overweight people are also at risk - their feet simply cannot support a large body weight. A heel spur can also occur with chronic diseases of the heel bone, spine, gout, poor circulation of the legs, and even after a cold.
But still, the main risk group is patients with flat feet. The load on the foot in such people is uneven, which leads to severe inflammation of the bone tissue.
For severe heel pain, the doctor usually recommends purchasing individual corrective insoles and heel pads that relieve the load on the foot. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed, as well as physiotherapeutic procedures: UHF, magnetic therapy, laser therapy, electrophoresis, shock wave therapy (SWT), massage and water procedures.
“Shock wave therapy is the most effective in relieving pain,” says traumatologist Elena Zinchenko . – Shock waves restore and renew tissue cells, improve metabolic processes. But, for example, during pregnancy and cancer, this method is contraindicated.”
If physiotherapy does not help, hormonal injections are prescribed. They have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.
During treatment, patients are advised to limit the load on their feet and wear comfortable shoes. According to the observations of orthopedic doctors, on average, after 1–2 months, pain symptoms disappear.
On the Internet you can find dozens of folk recipes for getting rid of heel spurs - from a bath with vinegar and egg to standing on peas. Experts warn: none of these recommendations will save you from the problem.
“Recently, a woman came to see me with burns on her legs,” says Gennady Pushkov, “trying to cure the spur in a vinegar bath, the patient simply burned her skin.”
The only effective method for relieving pain and fatigue in the legs at home, which is recommended by doctors, is soothing baths. In 10 liters of water at a temperature of 37 to 52 ° C, you need to dissolve 5 tablespoons of sea salt, add 10-12 drops of pine extract and lower your feet into the bath for 10-15 minutes.
Preventing heel spurs is easier than treating them. If you have flat feet, it is recommended to regularly wear orthopedic insoles that distribute the load on the foot. If you have problems with weight, leg exercises will help, although you should not forget about losing weight. Well, those who are on their feet all day will be saved by water procedures: water aerobics, swimming.
In the prevention of the disease, the most important role is played by comfortable and properly selected shoes: shoes and boots should not press, it is better to wear shoes with small heels (3-4 cm) and with a wide toe.
“Exercising is important - flexion and extension of the foot in a sitting position for 1-2 minutes a day and walking on a massage mat,” says massage therapist Irina Zaitseva. – Trains the tendons and improves blood circulation by walking on the inner and outer edges of the foot and on the toes. Another good exercise is to roll a bottle or massage ball on the floor with your bare foot, or pick up small objects with your toes.” In addition, it is recommended to regularly take contrasting foot baths with herbal infusions, and in the summer to walk barefoot on the grass and warm sand.
A heel spur is a disease in which there is an overgrowth of bone tissue on the plantar part of the lower extremities, mainly in the heel area. Such growths are usually in the form of a thorn, so they cause pain and interfere with normal walking. Pain appears due to inflammation of the bone tissue itself or due to injury to other tissues into which the spike digs during the load on the feet.
Full information about the disease in the article “Heel spur”. You will learn about all the symptoms, causes and treatment. How else can you cure heel spurs at home?
If you do not treat the disease and do not try to stop this process, soon a person will simply not be able to walk without experiencing severe pain. In addition to traditional methods of treatment, there are also methods used in folk medicine. Most often, people prefer to be treated according to traditional recipes in order to take as few chemicals as possible that have a detrimental effect on the entire body. What are these methods?
Recipe 1. Lard and badger fat
The recipe is very simple. You need to cut off a wide piece of lard and tape it to the heel. You can also use badger or goat fat instead of lard and lubricate your heel with it. Procedures must be done regularly to achieve any effect, and it is advisable to carry them out before bed, warming the sore leg with a woolen sock.
For treatment you will need raw potatoes. You can either cut it lengthwise to get a not too thick, but wide plate, or simply grate it. Next, the plate is tied to the heel or a prepared paste wrapped in several layers of gauze is applied there. This procedure should be done at night.
Just like potatoes, radishes need to be chopped into a paste. This can be done using a grater or a meat grinder, then the resulting mass is applied to the sore spot. Typically, people who have used this recipe say that the pain is significantly reduced after 3-4 procedures with radish.
For treatment you only need pharmaceutical turpentine. They need to rub the heel very well, and then put a natural cotton sock on it, over which they also put a wool sock. It is better to carry out such procedures before going to bed, at night. You should lubricate your heel with turpentine for no less than 7 and no more than 14 days. Then a break is taken for exactly the same number of days as the course of treatment was carried out. After the break, the course is repeated again.
Despite the fact that iodine is a pharmaceutical product, many people use it to treat heel spurs at home. During the procedure, you need to lubricate the heel very well with iodine. It is even recommended to pour it into a flat container and immerse your heel in the liquid so that the solution is well absorbed into the skin. This procedure is not recommended for people with very sensitive skin, as it can cause burns. In this case, it is better to apply an iodine mesh to the skin.
Solutions of salt and soda help very well with heel spurs if you make baths from them. In this case, soda softens the skin, and salt relieves inflammation. For 1 liter of hot water you need to take 1 tablespoon of salt and soda, stir them until completely dissolved and make a bath for the sore foot. You can carry out the procedure with salt alone, without adding soda, but then you need to take not 1 tablespoon of salt, but 2.
Recipe 7. Turpentine and vinegar essence
For such a bath you will need 200 milliliters of pharmaceutical turpentine and 50 milliliters of vinegar essence. The heel is immersed in the resulting solution for about 20-30 minutes. The course of treatment is carried out once a day for 2-3 weeks, then take a break for 1 week and repeat the course again.
This bath is made from 3 liters of hot water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 10-15 drops of iodine. The mixture is thoroughly mixed and the sore heel is immersed in it for 10 minutes.
To treat heel spurs, you will need herbs such as wormwood, mallow, burdock and nettle. Take 1 tablespoon of each herb and then add 1 liter of water. The liquid is brought to a boil, after which a very low heat is turned on, on which the mixture must be kept for 20 minutes. The finished broth is cooled to such a temperature that it is very warm, but not hot. The heel is immersed in it for about 10-15 minutes. Such baths should be done every day for a month.
Recipe 10. Alcohol, salt and vinegar
For the bath, take 100 milliliters of ethyl alcohol, 100 grams of salt and 50 milliliters of vinegar. The components are mixed and filled with hot water in a volume of 2.5-3 liters. The foot is immersed in the resulting solution and kept there until it cools completely. The course of treatment should be carried out over 2 weeks.
Recipe 11. Boiled potatoes and kerosene
Unlike the recipe, in which it was necessary to apply cut or mashed raw potatoes to the heel, here boiled potatoes are used. But it must be cooked in its “uniform”. For the procedure you will need approximately 7-8 medium-sized potatoes. After they are ready, they must be crushed into puree, adding kerosene. The amount of kerosene should be determined independently. The puree should be tender and not dry.
You need to put it in some kind of dish, for example, in a basin, and immerse your foot in it. The mixture should be moderately hot so that it is pleasant to hold your foot in it and does not cause a burning sensation. The foot is kept in the puree for 15-20 minutes, during which time it should cool down. When the mixture has cooled, remove the foot from it and thoroughly wipe it with a clean damp cloth, after which a warm wool sock is put on it. It is better to do this procedure before going to bed, since after it the legs need rest.
A positive effect is observed after 3-5 procedures if performed every day. If there is no effect or it is insignificant, you can continue treatment, but it is not recommended to carry it out more than 12 times without a break.
Recipe 12. Nettle and burdock
Nettle has long been known for its healing properties. It also helps with heel spurs. However, you should know that nettles should not be collected at any time in spring or summer, but preferably in May, since young plants are more useful than old ones.
The nettle is passed through a meat grinder and the resulting pulp is spread on a burdock leaf, which is then wrapped with a bandage around the sore heel. It is better to insulate the foot; to do this, put a woolen sock on it. It is better to do such procedures at night to give the foot rest, and walking with a compress on the heel is not very comfortable. However, for very severe pain, it is better to carry out the procedure twice a day, morning and evening. After about 2-3 weeks, the pain will begin to subside.
Recipe 13. Honey and oatmeal
For this recipe you need to take 1 teaspoon each of honey and oatmeal and mix them well. Before the procedure, your feet should be washed and steamed well, and then wiped dry. Next, a cake is formed from a mixture of honey and flour, which is applied to the heel. A piece of polyethylene is placed on the cake, after which a bandage is applied on top, fixing the product on the sore spot and preventing the honey from spreading. A wool sock should be worn over the bandage to retain heat.
Typically, this procedure is done before bedtime and should be done regularly for 10 days to feel an improvement in the condition.
Garlic is ground into a paste and a compress is made on the sore heel. Place polyethylene on top of the slurry, secure it with a bandage and put on a warm sock. This compress is left for about 3-4 hours. The procedure is repeated exactly as many times as needed for the pain to completely disappear. However, not all people will be able to withstand such a compress. If a person has too delicate skin, garlic will cause a strong burning sensation and lead to burns. To prevent this from happening, and so that the compress can be tolerated normally, vegetable oil is added to the paste or before the procedure, the skin of the heel is well lubricated with a rich cream. If the burning sensation is still so strong that it is simply impossible to tolerate it, you must immediately remove the compress and switch to some other methods of treatment.
Honey, iodine, salt: Another recipe for heel spurs is to take one tablespoon of honey, 1 bottle of iodine (50 g), 1 teaspoon of fine “Extra” salt. Stir everything, apply it to cotton wool (you can put it on a bandage), apply it to the heel, put cellophane on top and bandage it tightly so that the bandage does not slip off at night. In the morning, walk around without removing the bandage for 15 minutes, then remove. This amount of ointment is designed for 5 times. In five nights you can get rid of spurs. It is recommended to repeat treatment after six months if the spurs reappear.
Lard for the treatment of heel spurs: 100 gr. Melt old lard in a frying pan, add a raw chicken egg, 100 gr. vinegar and 1 teaspoon of honey. Let this lotion sit for 48 hours. Then steam the sore leg and apply the lotion at night. To enhance the effect, it is better to sleep in a sock. In a week the spur will disappear.
Shoe insert for spurs: When treating heel spurs, you should try to reduce the load on the heel. Special gel shoe inserts, such as those shown in the picture, perform this role best.
Exercises: You can roll a special rubber ball with your entire foot back and forth and in a circle - this will help with heel spurs.
A dog's saliva helps very well. When I was a child, my spur was licked only 2 times by a lap dog and I forgot about it forever. A dog's saliva contains some kind of enzyme.
It helped me a lot, thank you very much!
how is this possible, nonsense, it’s a bone growth
dilute them in 1 liter of hot water (60 degrees) and warm your feet for 10 minutes, then apply
applicator with valerian on the heel, put on a plastic bag, a warm sock on top and sleep. 10 is enough
My heel spur started out like this: Initially, for about 6 months, the pain in my heel only appeared in the morning when I got out of bed. The heel pain gradually subsided after walking for 5-10 minutes.
However, I soon began to notice that it no longer took me 5-10 minutes to “pace,” but much more. Moreover, the pain gradually became more and more unbearable.
Traditional medicine is powerless here. The doctor prescribed ultrasound and magnets for me - nothing helped. I found a clinic where I received 8 sessions of shock wave therapy. Improvement occurred only after the 5th procedure. I practically stopped limping. The pain became quite tolerable, so I started doing more massage with a roller massager (20-30 minutes every day).
Now I don't limp anymore. Sometimes I feel pain. Especially if I walk for more than 2 hours. But after 10 minutes of rest everything goes away. I use the roller massager all the time.
Here's a happy ending. Our travel companions looked at me sideways in bewilderment: I walked with a cane, winced in pain, and in one night everything went away. Probably a simulator.
Since then I’ve been listening to my wife’s recommendations!
And dear ones, be more literate in terms of the fact that DO NOT CONFUSE SPUR and SHIPIGA (SHIPITSA) - these are completely different diseases. A spur is a growth on a bone, and the fact that the dog licked it is some kind of nonsense. Be healthy.
You are simply confusing the heel thorn here with some other thing that can be picked out, seen, dissolved in milk. The bone growth will not go anywhere and will remind you of itself.
