Heel Spur: How it Forms & How to Treat
When the tarsal joint falls w/ each step, the sharp front edge of the heel bone (calcaneus) rolls toward the ground & bears weight. This places excessive stress on the spot & already overstretched plantar fascia ligament, which attaches at that very point, & eventually tears away from the heel bone. Then Uric acid crystals, which are byproducts of metabolism, attach to the damaged bone or ligament & begin absorbing calcium. Over time, this forms a thorn-shaped bony growth at the bottom front of the heel bone — commonly known as a heel spur. Walking on a heel spur can be extremely painful.
Treatment
Feet Balance Orthotics align the heel bone by realigning the fallen Tarsal joint & make your arch to handle the weight as it’s designed to handle 75% of the weight that falls to the bottom of the foot.
By aligning the heel bone, the Feet Balance Orthotics relieve pain instantly, prevent further tearing or calcium buildup, & proper healing start properly in alignment.
Why Uric Acid Accumulates in the Feet
Uric acid is a natural waste product from breaking down certain nutrients. It normally leaves the body through urine. However, due to not using Feet Balance Orthotics, the bottom of the foot has relatively poor blood circulation, which allows these powder-like uric acid crystals to linger & accumulate in the foot. By
Feet Balance Orthotics not only help address plantar fasciitis at its root but also major joints by aligning your tilted anklebones.
