Treatment Options For Heel Spurs

Taping Stressed Muscles

Taping can be an effective treatment for many injuries, including heels spurs. The great thing about taping is it can relieve your pain almost instantly. All it takes is a roll of medical or kinesiology tape and some knowledge of the best way to tape the injury. Taping the stressed muscles around the heel spur helps support the foot's natural arch and relieve some of the stress placed on the plantar fascia.

At first, patients may need a doctor or physical therapist to demonstrate how to properly tape the foot, but after they learn how, patients can do it yourself. Many online resources are available that can help you learn proper taping methods.
