Heel pain is common and anyone can get affected. There could be multiple reasons for the condition including fractures and ligament tears. Depending upon the cause, the treatment procedure is decided by the healthcare service provider. In severe cases, surgical intervention is required for the treatment. Sometimes, trauma implants like Orthopedic Implants Plate are required for the surgery. Besides all this, one of the causes of heel pain is the formation of spurs in the heel.
Spurs are bony bumps that develop due to calcium deposits in one place and they are painful. They might also require surgery if other methods fail.
No one wants to get surgery as everyone wishes to get relief either from medication or home remedies. Here, we are going to discuss some of the best home remedies that are helpful in relieving pain associated with heel spurs. Let us see what those remedies are:
- Apple Cider Vinegar
It is known as the new superfood that has the property to cure numerous skin-related problems. Apple cider vinegar can pull the excess calcium out from the bone to provide relief. Add a few drops of apple cider vinegar to lukewarm water and soak your affected feet for 10-15 minutes. Doing this regularly as suggested will provide good relief.
- Essential Oils
Essential oils like coconut oil, lavender oil, and olive oil have good anti-inflammatory properties and hence, they can help relieve pain. Massaging your heel with any of these essential oils will improve heel pain while softening your skin. Pour them directly and massage gently for a few minutes.
- Epsom Salt
Most of our body’s calcium is present in our bones and Epsom salt is nothing but magnesium sulfate. This can also help relieve pain associated with spurs. Sprinkle some salt in warm water and soak the heel in it while gently massaging the heel.
- Baking Soda
You would be surprised to know that an ingredient found in your kitchen would be highly helpful in relieving heel pain caused by the formation of spurs. We are talking about baking soda. It can directly act on the calcium crystals deposits and provide relief. For this, make a paste of baking soda and water. Now, apply that paste directly on the heel and wait for some time. This is a great remedy to get quick relief.
