How do you treat heal spur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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 In adults, 20% of bone calcium in withdrawn from bones and replaced each year.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.

Would you need medical attention if you cut your hand on a broken plate just where your ring finger meets your palm it isn't too terribly deep but the sharp pain radiates completely around mid finger?

Your big toe is swollen and leaking lite green stuff after I pulled a hang nail. What can I do for it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

pour hydrogen peroxide on it daily, it will eat away the green stuff and dried blood if you have any. Your toe will probably stay infected until the nail grows enough, then it will just stop leaking the stuff.

Is it true that if you have a fracture on any part of your foot you cant stand up and it will pain a lot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends how much pain is "a lot." Different people have different tolerances for pain.

However, if you break any bone in your foot, is will feel worse under pressure when standing. It is not recommended to stand with a fractured bone in your foot.

You got a splinter under your feet you used tweezers and needles but it just wouldn't come out now it hurts to walk what should you do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have found that if I had to dig too deep to get a splinter out, just giving up on it for a day or two will cause the body to build up some puss around it. this will make it easier to squeeze out without having to further gauge your foot. Use you common sense though at a certain point having to seek medical attention may be the wisest coarse of action.

What is the treatment of a Avulsion fracture at the base of fifth finger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a medical procedure. The phlange has to be realigned, the muscle and connective tissue has to be reconnected, the blood vessels have to be stitched back together and the nerves are pretty much on their own. Loss of mobility, sensation and natural appearance is to be expected.

Shrimp is capable of causing joint pain, especially in those suffering from arthritis. The pain is not necessarily specifically localized to the toes, but it is possible to experience a painful sensation there.

What is plantar extension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Someone probably meant dorsiflexion aka pulling the toes closer to your shin.

Its counterpart would be plantar flexion, hence the idea of plantar extension.

Tbh, i also prefer the term of plantar extension, due to its clear indication that we are talking about something close to the foot; dorsum could be misinterpreted here as the back of the torso. (Even though for anatomists, the word dorsiflexion is reserved for ankle movement only.)
