Heel Pain - Heel Spurs and Plantar Fasciitis

Heel Pain, Heel Spur, and Plantar Fasciitis are all the same problem.

Heel Pain: The Natural Solution is the breakthrough video from orthopaedic surgeon James Amis, MD. Dr. Amis's natural Heel Pain treatment addresses the origins of heel pain rather than the symptoms, with a success rate over 95 percent in treating people with varying ranges of heel pain.

Watching the video takes only a small investment of your time, but it teaches you how to eliminate nagging heel pain permanently. It's a safe and cost-effective alternative to treatments and procedures that can be invasive and can be associated with risks or side effects. It's easy and it works! It's up to you.

Myth - Heel spurs are the main cause of heel pain and may need to be surgically removed.

Reality - Heel spurs actually are nothing more than an x-ray finding. Even though you may develop heel spurs, especially as you get older, heel pain most frequently comes from a condition called plantar fasciitis, which can occur concomitantly with heel spurs.

What are heel spurs?
It's important to note that heel spurs are growth deposits of bone created by poor mechanics in the lower leg and foot, and they are generally painless.

Are heel spurs related to plantar fasciitis?
The relation to plantar fasciitis is that they are both caused by the same poor mechanics of the lower leg and foot. Plantar Fasciitis causes heel pain, heel spurs do not. Once you do the treatment for plantar fasciitis, you will still have heel spurs. However; you will be free of pain.

Should I have surgery to remove heel spurs?
It is not recommended that you have surgery for heel spurs until you have completed the exercises associated with the treatment for heel spurs.

Myth - Heel pain and plantar fasciitis are two different things.

Reality - Heel pain is only part of plantar fasciitis that occurs at the heel. However, "plantar fasciitis" can occur anywhere on the plantar fascia all the way up to the toes. No matter where you experience your pain, the plantar fasciitis exercise in this video will eliminate it.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Technically, plantar fasciitis is inflammation due to small tears of the plantar fascia, a thin layer of tough tissue supporting the arch of the foot. Runners often experience plantar fasciitis outside of the heel [see diagram].

Are plantar fasciitis related to heel spurs?
The only relation is that they are both caused by the same poor mechanics of the lower leg and foot. Plantar Fasciitis causes heel pain, heel spurs do not. Once you do the treatment for plantar fasciitis, you will still have heel spurs. However; you will be free of pain.

What is the best Plantar Fasciitis Treatment?
Plantar fasciitis should be treated with the exercises recommended in this video that will correct the poor mechanics that lead to this painful condition.

"I believe that Dr. Amis can cure heel pain forever. It's comforting to know a doctor who is so intent on keeping people healthy. Dr. Amis was instrumental in helping me run great marathons and make the Olympic team. His heel pain cure allowed me to run healthy, pain-free, and fast!"

"I'd been struggling with plantar fasciitis and saw another physician who tried cortisone injections and orthotics, which seemed to make the condition worse. I even stopped running for several months. Then I got the video and followed the recommendations for the six-month schedule. It really worked well. I was back to jogging within a month and I continue to do the exercises each day. I'd highly recommend your course of care to anyone with plantar fasciitis."

Jim Mcaffer

" Dr. Amis' video is truly a 'picture worth a thousand words.' After two years of heel pain and failed attempts at other remedies, I finally got the video. Not only did I learn how to do the exercises properly, I understood the logic behind why they work, which motivated me to stick to the regimen. I've been pain-free for several years."
