10.01.2022 #didyouknow that a #heelspur is bony outgrowth of the heel bone and occurs in up to 15% of the general population? However, research has shown that heel spurs a... present in higher proportions in the elderly, people who are overweight and in those with #heelpain, #plantarfasciitis, #osteoarthritis and abnormal foot function. It is believed that heel spurs grow as a result of repetitive impact forces under the heel, such as walking and exercise. The average active person walks around 7,500 steps/day. If you maintain this daily average and live to the age of 80 years, then you’ll have walked about 5 times around the Earth and that’s a lot of cumulative impact force! Research has shown that there is a relationship between #heelspurs and pain under the heel. However! Research has also shown that some people with #heelspurs can have no #heelpain at all! Some factors that influence whether a #heelspur might cause #heelpain include the size of the spur, a person’s bodyweight, compression of a nerve under the heel, facture of the #heelspur, #inflammation, decrease in the fatty padding under the heel and a person’s occupational duties, such as prolonged weightbearing on hard surfaces. With an aging population and a rise in global #obesity, #heelspurs and #heelpain may become a worsening problem Do you have pain under your heel? Ask your doctor or podiatrist for a referral to a podiatrist or podiatric surgeon or visit acps.edu.au/find to find a podiatric surgeon near you! #podiatricpearls #podiatricsurgery #australasiancollegeofpodiatricsurgeons #acps #podiatry #surgery #footpain #bonespur #heelpain #heelspur #plantarfasciitis #foothealth #didyouknow #osteoarthritis #musculoskeletal #obesity
