How to Deal With Calcaneal Spur Pain in Both Legs?

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about the pain from your calcaneal spur. Physiotherapy can effectively manage this condition through several approaches. Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected area. Stretching exercises, particularly for the calf muscles, can alleviate tension and pressure on the heel. These can include calf stretches, where you stand facing a wall with one foot forward and the other back, keeping your back heel on the ground and leaning forward to stretch the calf, and towel stretches, where you sit with your leg extended, loop a towel around the ball of your foot, and gently pull the towel towards you to stretch the calf and heel. Strengthening exercises, such as heel raises and toe towel scrunches, help strengthen the muscles around the foot and ankle to provide better support and reduce strain on the heel. Manual therapy techniques, like massage, can reduce muscle tension and improve circulation. Applying ice packs to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and pain. Your physiotherapist might also recommend supportive footwear or orthotics to reduce strain on the heel and provide guidance on adjusting activities to minimize pain and prevent further injury. I recommend visiting a nearby physiotherapist for a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
