Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Dear alternative folks, does any one have a successful series of natural remedies for heel spurs? I have tried bromeline(from the pinapple) turmeric, A & D as in codliver oil caps, etc. all vit/min caps....any more things I haven't thought of??? I have in the past gotten ride of a spur, but this one is tougher to deal with! NG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Walking also speeds recovery but really hurts, so I discovered that I can use the nordic-trak ski machine instead because the weight there is on the balls of my feet, not the heels. I have always succeeded in purging mine in 2 to 3 weeks with this method. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 WOW! I have had my spur ---fells like a year now! Maybe if I walk on my toes? I haven't access to a Nordic track.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 My wife had a heel spur a few months ago. Her doctor, a joint and sports medicine specialist, looked at it. He told her that it was indeed a heel spur... that he had one too and that nothing could be done about it. When she told me that I laughed and put her on magnesium chelates. Today, it would be transdermal magnesium, because oral magnesium causes some problems with the bowels. I also gave her a set of jell cell shoe inserts, which relieved the problem to some degree immediately. The next move is to wear sane shoes. Mephistos work great, but are expensive. For women, that means flats... and certainly no high heels. In any case, she was better in three weeks and while some build-up was seen on a recent x-ray (taken for another reason), there is no more trauma whatsoever.

I meant to say;try taking the foot out of plantar flextion and into dorsal flextion,by pulling on the heel of the foot with one hand , while lifting thefoot by big toe with the other hand . this will stretch the soft tissue around a bone spur.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Two traditional Chinese medicine formulae, hope help Put Dark Plum Fruit 200g into water, boil about 30 minutes, add 100g white vinegar, steep heel when the temperature is comfortable. Clematis Root 5~10g, add appropriate vinegar, stir to paste. Steep heel in hot water for about 10 minutes, and then wipe the paste on the heel. Bandage with cloth.
