Heel spur treatment can be a tricky business, but there are a few things you can do at home to help ease the pain. First, try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or aspirin.
You can also ice the affected area for 15-20 minutes several times a day. Another heel spur treatment option is to wear heel cups or orthotics in your shoes. These devices help to cushion and support your heel, which can take some of the pressure off of the spur.
Finally, avoid walking barefoot or wearing shoes with high heels. If you must stand for long periods of time, make sure to shift your weight from your heel to your toes frequently. With a little care and patience, you should be able to find heel spur relief in no time.
