A calcaneal spur is a bony outgrowth on the heel bone, causing sharp pain with every step. At AVK, we treat the underlying inflammation and tissue degeneration through Marma therapy and herbal bandaging — providing relief without steroid injections or surgery.

Calcaneal spur (Vatakantaka) is a vata disorder affecting the heel, where aggravated vata causes degeneration and abnormal bone growth. Treatment combines gulpha and kshipra marma stimulation with sustained herbal bandaging and bone-regulating internal formulations.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Precise stimulation of Gulpha, Kshipra and Kurcha marma points around the heel to restore circulation and reduce local vata aggravation.
Anti-inflammatory herbal pastes applied to the heel overnight and secured with bandages — reducing swelling and pain over successive sessions.
Calcium-regulating and anti-inflammatory internal preparations to address the root cause of spur formation.
Footwear correction, weight management, foot-friendly routines and strengthening exercises.
A 45-minute consultation is the first step towards relief.
