A heel spur is a bony outgrowth that can occur on the underside of a person’s foot. They are also known as calcaneal spurs or osteophytes. Heel spurs may be pointy, hooked, or shelf-like.

Heel spurs, also known as calcaneal spurs, are bony protrusions that develop on the heel bone. They often cause pain and discomfort, especially when walking or standing for long periods.

[6] The role of the plantar calcaneal spur is controversial. Whether the spur is due to a reactive periostitis, traction phenomena or soft tissue inflammation is still unclear. Numerous studies ...

A heel spur is a calcium deposit causing a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone. On an X-ray, a heel spur can extend forward by as much as a half-inch. Without visible X-ray evidence ...

Among patients with PsA, MetS is associated with certain degenerative changes in the spine and entheses but not with peripheral or axial radiographic damage.

I do not have your x-ray in front of me so I am going to guess that the “spur” is located at the origin of the plantar fascia on the anterior-inferior portion of the calcaneus (heel bone).

Heel spurs are directly caused by long-term muscle and ligament strain. Eventually, this excessive strain stresses the heel bone (calcaneus) causing spurs. Heel spurs develop over time.
