Heel spur treatment in older adults often requires the use of a heel spur laser. This device is used to remove the spur from the heel, and it is considered to be a safe and effective method of treatment. However, there are some risks associated with the use of this device, and it is important to discuss these risks with your doctor before undergoing treatment.
The most common side effect of heel spur laser treatment is pain at the site of the spur. This pain is usually temporary and can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications. In rare cases, more serious side effects, such as infection, have been reported. However, these side effects are extremely rare and typically only occur in people who have pre-existing medical conditions that make them susceptible to infection. Overall, heel spur laser treatment is considered to be a safe and effective method of treatment for older adults.
