When Is Heel Spur Removal Needed?
Surgery may be recommended when heel spurs cause chronic pain despite physical therapy, orthotics, and anti-inflammatory medications. If the bony growths are interfering with your ability to walk, stand, or enjoy everyday activities, surgical removal could be the solution.

What to Expect – Before, During & After Surgery
Before the procedure, a thorough evaluation and imaging will determine the size and location of the heel spur. During surgery, we carefully excise the spur and may address any surrounding soft tissue inflammation. Afterward, most patients recover within a few weeks, with tailored aftercare to support healing and prevent recurrence.

Heel Spur Surgery FAQs
Considering surgery? Here are common questions we hear from patients:
The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is relatively painless. Discomfort afterward is managed with medication and rest.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few weeks, with full recovery in 6 to 8 weeks.
Many patients report significant to complete relief after surgery, especially when combined with physical therapy.
Recurrence is rare, especially when supported by proper footwear and orthotic use post-surgery.
A post-operative boot may be used for a short period. Crutches are typically not necessary unless advised.
Heel Pain Making Every Step Miserable?
Heel spurs can cause persistent pain that affects walking, work, and daily activities. When conservative treatments no longer provide relief, heel spur removal may be the next step toward lasting comfort.
