My heels have been really hurting and the X-ray shows heel spurs. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Heel spurs are not typically treated surgically unless nonsurgical methods fail to relieve pain after a significant period, usually 9-12 months. Most people find relief from heel pain with non-surgical treatments like stretching, shoe inserts, and physical therapy
