Podiatrist Cites Mayo Clinic on Heel Spur Syndrome

 A podiatrist of Panama City Fl” states that the Mayo Clinic is correct in stating that “…the stretching of the plantar fascia is usually the major cause of heel spur syndrome. Dr. Burton S. Schuler goes on to say that   the Mayo Clinic website was also right when it says that a bone spurs that develop along the edges of bones, can cause rubbing against nearby nerves and bones, causing pain. A bone spur can cause no symptoms by themselves, and may go undetected for years. What treatment, if any, that you receive for your bone spurs depends on where they’re located and how they affect your health http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bone-spurs/DS00627

Dr. Dudley J. Morton, one of the leading researchers on feet in the twentieth century, warned about how a short first metatarsal bone (“Morton’s Toe”) (Long Second Toe) can cause over-pronation of the foot which that then could cause heel spurs. Dr. Schuler explains: “If you have a Morton’s Toe the front part of the foot is unstable when it needs to be stable. Because of this, the foot will be forced to pronate. A pronating foot places abnormal stress on many areas of the foot, including the plantar fascia and the heel bone. It is this abnormal stress that is the start of all the heel problems noted above.  

If a longer second toe is causing your painful heel problems, do not despair. The toe-pad that Schuler prescribes for Morton’s Toe (placed under the first toe of an over-pronating foot) can help heal those painful heels
