Bone spur treatment

(I) How to treat bone spurs on the soles of the feet

1. Oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs

This type of drug works by inhibiting local inflammatory responses, promoting tissue healing and relieving pain. Many patients feel upper abdominal discomfort after taking the medicine, which irritates the stomach greatly. Moreover, after stopping the medicine, many patients report that the pain recurs.

2. Closed treatment

For patients who do not respond to oral medication, blockade should be considered. Local injection of hydrocortisone at painful points generally has a good analgesic effect. The skin on the heel is tough, and the injection itself is very painful and there is a possibility of infection. Blockade therapy can only temporarily relieve pain. It is effective at the time but not lasting, and most importantly, it cannot cure the disease fundamentally.

Among Western medicine treatments, the most common treatment is surgery, which involves removing the tumor. However, surgical treatment often causes further contracture of the ligaments of the bone spur, so it is not suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

3. External use coating

Patients can perform the treatment at home, which is a convenient treatment method for middle-aged and elderly people. Pay attention to the usage of external ointments. Before using the medicine, you should soak your feet in warm water and then apply the medicine. The area of ​​application should be larger than the painful area. Massage for a while after taking the medicine.

(II) Treatment of bone spurs on the soles of the feet

1. First, drug treatment

Since heel diseases caused by heel spurs are all chronic inflammations, long-term use of Western medicine will produce side effects and damage the spleen, kidneys and liver. Therefore, Chinese medicine is generally used for treatment. You can choose drug fumigation, external plasters, and oral decoctions. The more ideal method is external plasters.

External application of the heel pain relief patch allows the medicine to directly contact the skin, penetrate the skin, reach the lesion more quickly, and eliminate inflammation. No need to take it orally, which avoids intestinal irritation and is safer and more effective.

2. Acupuncture treatment

Acupuncture is a very common method of treating bone spurs in our country. Acupuncture usually works through the conduction function of meridians and acupoints to dredge the meridians and strengthen the body to eliminate evil, thereby achieving the purpose of treating bone spurs.

When acupuncture is used to treat heel spurs, proximal acupoints are selected, with tender points, Kunlun, Taixi, Pushan, Shuiquan, and Ran Gu as the main points. Acupuncture is performed with filiform needles, with moderate stimulation intensity, and the needles are retained for 30 minutes, once a day.

3. There is also massage therapy

Massage therapy refers to the theory of acupuncture points and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the anatomical theory and pathological diagnosis of Western medicine. The doctor uses his own hands to apply a series of techniques such as pushing, holding, pressing, rubbing, kneading, pinching, tapping, and patting on the patient's body surface, injured parts, specific acupoints, and painful areas to achieve the therapeutic effects of dredging meridians, promoting the flow of Qi and blood, healing injuries and relieving pain, dispelling evil and strengthening the body, and harmonizing yin and yang.
