How do you treat heal spur?

Answer 1

To understand how to get rid of a heel spur, it is important to understand what causes a heel spur to form. There are many hard-to-believe theories on the cause of heel spurs. After many years of hearing what has helped different people, our conclusion on the matter is this: Calcium is the most common mineral in our bodies and one of the most important. Our bodies need calcium every day for vital functions such as maintaining a steady heartbeat, building and fixing bones and teeth, helping nerves and muscles to work properly, and helping blood to clot. Calcium enters body cells and activates proteins to do specific things once it is in the cell. For instance when in muscle cells it makes them contract; when in nerve cells it triggers electrical impulses to send a message; when in white blood cells it fights germs. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our diet varies. Age is one factor. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while adults absorb anywhere from 20-30%. Our bones feel solid and permanent, but they're like any other body tissue- they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In adults, 20% of bone calcium in withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. If we do not get enough calcium from our daily diet, our body will leach calcium away from our bones to use for the vital functions of our bodies. In many people this happens to be in the heel bone or some other weak area of the body. While being leached, it forms an eruption (like a volcano). This eruption is a bone spur (heel spur). Many people that suffer from heel spurs find relief when they properly supplement their diet daily with "good" calcium. When the body is fed the right amount of "good" calcium, the eruption subsides - along with the pain. The calcium must be carefully formulated to be easily digested to accomplish the "good" calcium environment in building healthy body/bone cells.
