Heel spurs are commonly thought to be a heel problem, but they can actually affect people of all ages. Heel spurs are most often seen in middle-aged women, but they can also be seen in men and children. Heel spurs are usually caused by an underlying medical condition, such as arthritis or diabetes.
However, they can also be caused by an injury to the heel or by wearing shoes that do not fit properly. Heel spurs can be very painful, and they can make it difficult to walk or stand for long periods of time. If you think you may have a heel spur, it is important to see a doctor so that the condition can be treated.
