What is Heel Spur Surgery?
Heel spur surgery involves the removal of the bony growth (heel spur) that causes pain and inflammation in the heel. This procedure is often recommended when conservative treatments like orthotics or physical therapy fail to provide relief.

What to Expect
Heel spur surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. The procedure involves carefully excising the heel spur and may also include releasing the plantar fascia if it is contributing to the pain.
