title: How I Manage Heel Spur Syndrome.
abstract: In brief: Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are two contributing causes of heel spur syndrome and sometimes cannot be differentiated from one another. In any case, the syndrome is caused by trauma to the heel and is often accompanied by severe pain. Treatment methods include rest, anti-inflammatory medication, and various types of shoe padding. Cortisone may be injected into the heel if symptoms continue, and surgery may be necessary if conservative treatment is unsuccessful.
