Heel Spur Treatment Tips

Hi, my name is Marcy, welcome to my blog. I started this site to pass on some of the things I’ve learned about treating heel spur problems – this has been a big issue for me in the past. When I was first diagnosed, I assumed that I’d need surgery to get rid of the spur, but chats with my doctor and podiatrist showed me that there are actually other solutions out there that can fix heel spur pain.

If you’re having heel spur problems, I hope you find information here that will help you decide on the right treatment for you.
