Heel spurs are a bone-like buildup on the bottom of the heel, usually caused by the stress of over-pronation or arch instability. The spur is the result of tissue pulling away from the bone and is usually quite painful to put weight on.

Orthotics can reduce the strain on the tissue and stabilize the foot, allowing the spur to heal. Westcoast Orthopedic Laboratories offers many orthotic models with gel in the heel area, which provide cushioning while the spur repairs itself.

If you have a low arch that pronates (rolls inwards), our Full-Foot Orthotics are recommended to roll your foot outwards and subsequently lift the arch.

If you have a high arch in need of stability, the Sport Supporter will support your arch, stabilize your foot, and provide gel padding for your sole, bringing relief to the spur area as it mends.

In addition, the Night Splint can stretch out the plantar fascia while you rest, stopping pain first thing in the morning.

Many people find ultrasound, icing, and stretching to be helpful, as well. However, if you do not cure the mechanical cause of the spur, it will be likely to return once normal activity is resumed. As a result, orthotics are recommended even when other treatments are being used.

Heel spurs are usually curable without surgery, although it is warranted in some cases. Orthotics should be worn after surgery in order to prevent the problem from recurring.
