Dr. Deep Shah, Orthopedic & Trauma Surgeon at Shalby Hospitals Naroda, talks about ankle spur, which is an abnormality of the foot bone and soft tissues. It is also known by other names like calcaneal spur and heel spur.
An enlargement of the bony section of the heel causes this condition. This can cause heel pain. In the initial stage, it can be resolved with simple steps like using comfortable footwear with soft soles, physiotherapy, splinting, etc.
However, if it does not get resolved by these it might need surgical intervention. Dr. Deep Shah says that it is important that this condition gets diagnosed properly and thus people with heel pain should see an orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.
