Bone spurs may be managed conservatively or surgically depending on your pain and discomfort.

Some options include:

  1. Weight Loss
  2. Proper footwear
  3. Increase padding around the spur
  4. Steroid injections
  5. Surgical removal

Bone spurs can make it difficult to walk or wear shoes. Please see your doctor if you have pain or suspect a bone spur on the top of your foot. With the right modalities, one can improve your symptoms and prevent a bone spur from worsening.
