What are Bone Spurs?
Bone spurs
(Osteophytes) are abnormal growths found on bones. They
may be noticed as small lumps under the skin. The heel,
elbow, spine, knee, shoulder and ankles are common areas
where they develop, however any bone in the body
can develop a bone spur.
Bone spurs that develop in the heel are referred to as heel spurs. Heel spurs often run hand-in-hand with plantar fasciitis. Usually the cuase of the pain is the heel spurs.
What Causes Bone Spurs?
There are many
hard-to-believe theories on the cause of bone spurs.
After many years of hearing what works for different
people, our conclusion on the matter is this:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may
also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we
absorb from our food varies widely. Our age is one
factor. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium
obtained from foods, while in adults the maximum
absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%.
Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent,
they're just like any other body tissue, they're
constantly being broken down and formed again. In an
adult, 20 percent of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones
and replaced each year. Thus, every five years the bones
are renewed.
Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft
tissues of the body where it is vital to normal cell
functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is
concentrated in muscle, although it is contained in the
membrane and cytoplasm of every cell.
When the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach
calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be
in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the
body. As the calcium is being leached, it forms an
eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the
bone spur.
Many people that have suffered from bone spurs found
relief when they properly supplemented their diet daily
with "good" calcium. They found that providing
their body with "good" calcium, along with
other vital minerals, stopped the "leaching
process" (calcium deficiency) thus allowing the bone
spur to shrink down and eventually disappear. With the
bone spur gone, the sorrounding damage from the spur is
able to heal also.
Important: The calcium+ must be carefully
formulated to be easily digested to accomplish the
"good" calcium environment in building healthy
body/bone cells.

What are Heel Spurs?
Bone spurs often form on weak bones in the body. The heel bone is the largest bone in the foot. The heel bone supports the body's weigth and is responsible for absorbing the daily stress placed on the feet. Thus, the heel bone is a prime target for heel spurs. When a bone spur forms on the heel bone it is called a heel spur.
Heel spurs themselves don't have any feeling. It is the rubbing of the heel spur into the surrounding nerves and tissues that causes the pain.
Why is Heel Spur Pain More
Intense In the Morning?
Heel spur pain is often most intense after long periods of rest from being on your feet, such as when first getting out of bed in the morning. This is because, as you move throughout the day, the nerves surrounding the heel spur adjust around the spur so that it is not digging into them. While resting, the nerves relax back into their normal position. Thus, when you first get on your feet after resting, the heel spur is digging into the nerves/tissues.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
The term plantar
fasciitis simply means inflammation of the plantar
fascia:
The term "plantar" means the
bottom of the foot
"fascia" is a type of
connective tissue
The suffix "itis" means
inflammation.
The plantar fascia is connective tissue that is attaced to the bottom of the heel and extends to the toes to create the arch of the foot.
Are Heel Spurs Connected
with Plantar Fasciitis?
People who have plantar fasciitis often find out that they have developed a tiny bone spur (heel spur) at the point where the heel bone attaches to the plantar fascia. The repeated rubbing of the heel spur against the plantar fascia often results in inflammation of the plantar fasia at the point of the attachment of the plantar fascia to the heel bone. The result is pain. Often times, when the heel spur is eliminated, the plantar fascia is able to heal and the pain will disappear.
Natural Help Without Surgery
Bone spur surgery may eliminate the pain temporarily. However, often times people will tell us that the bone spur will return shortly after the surgery. Even some foot doctors will often admit that there is no guarantee that surgery will eliminate the bone spurs for good. The reason for this is because surgery does not get to the source of the problem. Our product is 100% guaranteed!
