Calcaneal spurs, or heel spurs, are bony growths that develop on the underside or back of the heel bone . They often form due to repetitive strain or chronic inflammation in the plantar fascia, a ligament that runs along the bottom of your foot. These spurs can cause severe pain and discomfort, particularly when standing or walking.
