Heel Spur
A heel spur is basically an abnormal bone growth at the area where your plantar fascia is attached to the heel bone. This condition is triggered by extended strain on the muscles or ligaments around your foot. The risk is particularly high in joggers, runners, obese people, and those who stand on their feet a lot. Wearing worn-out, poorly constructed, or poorly fitting shoes would worsen the pain and discomfort. There is a close association between plantar fasciitis and heel spur, so make sure to consult your doctor to find out the exact cause. [2]
