STUDY: Heel Spur

About this episode

This episode summarizes a study on the benefits of laser therapy for treating heel spurs associated with plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis can be tough to treat but can be even more difficult when a calcaneal spur is present. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, laser therapy showed some great benefits.
