Bone Spur Treatment: Alleviating Discomfort and Improving Mobility

Excellent Care, Friendly Staff & Best Treatment Plans

Bone Spur Treatment in Central Florida

Bone spurs — also known as osteophytes — are bony projections that develop along the edges of bones in your feet and ankles. At Central Florida Foot & Ankle Institute, we specialize in treating bone spurs with personalized care that reduces discomfort and restores your mobility.

Understanding Bone Spurs

Bone spurs often develop from joint damage linked to osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or prolonged stress on the feet. They don't always cause symptoms — but when they rub against other bones or soft tissues, they can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving.

Common Symptoms of Bone Spurs

• Sharp or stabbing pain, especially when standing or walking
• Swelling and inflammation around the affected joint
• Restricted movement in the foot or ankle
• Corns or calluses where a spur rubs against your shoe

Our Approach to Bone Spur Treatment

Our treatment plans focus on relieving your symptoms while addressing the underlying cause:

• Conservative Treatments — Custom orthotics, physical therapy, and pain relief medications.
• Activity Modification — Guidance on reducing stress on your feet and ankles.
• Injection Therapy — Corticosteroid injections to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Surgical Options — When conservative care isn't enough, surgery may be considered to remove the spur and relieve pressure on surrounding tissues.
