bone spurs

[Guest guest]

I have been diagnosed with heel spurs and had very severe pain and

inflammation in both heels. I must admit that a heel cushion with a hole cut

out in the middle helped, as did cortisone injections. However, I found out

since, it is part of the PA. Now it seems controlled by whatever

immunosupressant I am on at the time.

Janet,

This is quoted from a website by Dr. Kevan T. Orvitz, D.P.M (Dr. of

Podiatric Medicine):

" The term for heel spurs , is Plantar Fasciitis, which is an

inflammation of the large ligament (arch muscle) beneath the foot, where

it attaches to the heel bone. It often feels as though you're stepping

on a red hot poker or a stone or a pebble beneath your heel bone. The

pain is sometimes worse when getting out of bed and taking your first

few steps in the morning. Then, throughout the day or after periods of

rest the pain in the heel area re-occurs and intensifies. With today's

high activity levels and the emphasis on aerobic exercise such as

outdoor walking, mall walking, and running; Plantar Fasciitis or Heel

Spur Syndrome is now becoming more frequent among all age groups.

Evaluation of Plantar Fasciitis is usually made clinically rather than

by x-ray evaluation. Some patients have an actual spur on the heel bone

and some patients do not. The actual bone spur itself is not painful and

therefore is not the contributing cause of the patient's symptoms. The

pain is due to the tearing or ripping and subsequent inflammation of the

Plantar Fascia (arch muscle), where it attaches to the heel bone or bony

spur. A common mistake made by most people though, is that surgery is

usually needed to correct this problem. However, this is rarely the

case. In fact, 85 to 90 percent of the time the problem can be treated

very successfully using conservative therapy, which includes: Podiatric

physical therapy, and Foot Orthotic Devices (arch supports). . The usual

treatment program is initiated with Podiatric physical therapy which

includes : Orthopedic taping , ultrasound, ice massaging and stretching

exercises to decrease the painful inflammation of the Plantar Fascia.

This is then followed by a proper Functional Orthotic Device fabricated

and fitted in the Podiatrist's office. Proper Functional Orthotic

Devices are fabricated from Neutral Position (non-weightbearing )

plaster casts of the feet along with numerous measurements taken by the

Podiatrist. These Devices are then worn inside the patients' shoes (

Orthotic Devices can be made to fit in any normal shoegear) for all

weightbearing activities. Usually, the heel pain is then eradicated in

as little as one to two months. It is important to remember however,

that sometimes heel pain can be caused from different forms of arthritis

such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Your heel pain may also

be due to a traumatic fracture or a stress fracture within the heel bone

itself. "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have had heel spurs and was in therapy for about 6 months. I opted to

go to a Podiatrist instead of an Orthopaedic Surgeon. They did

ultra-sound therapy on the heel 3 times a week. They also wanted to

give me cortisone shots, which I declined and made the Orthodic shoe

inserts. That lasted about 1 week. The insert hurt my foot worse than

the heel spur. They wound up keeping my foot wrapped to hold the heel

tight and that seemed to work. I also wore tennis shoes for the six

months which helped a great deal. It seemed that the pain went away

overnight and has not returned in about a year. If the pain did not

subside within one more month, surgery was going to be performed. But

it was not needed.

Gillian, Nothing short of a death certificate will keep me from coming to meet

you. The trip is paid for and I've spent a fortune on things I might need. I

have all of the state of the art packing gear, including Purple Luggage. (which

matches my purple car). I had my MRI today, and will go to the Doctor on

Monday for the results and the decision. Ken and brought up a good

point that surgery sometimes causes flares. It's going to be a big decision.

Along with the fact that I'm the only one that knows my job and I'm already

going to be gone for almost 3 weeks in June. I guess I'll just hang in there

until Monday and see what happens. I the mean time does anyone know how they

get rid of the bone spurs with Arthroscopy? Do they zap it and then wash it

out. I can find a lot about bone spurs but not much on spurs in the knee.

Well, it's time for bed. Thanks to everyone for all your advice. Keep the

faith, Becky

Becky,

They do zap them and wash them out. I had a bunch of cartiledge tears that

had to be repaired, also, but my doctor had me doing exercises on my leg the

same day of surgery. It is much better after the surgery. I just wish the

PA hadn't traveled to my ankles and feet.

Good luck with everything

I find that the parathyroids are usually at fault and give an appropriate hom. remedy for this. The Calcium is not absorbed hence the creation of spurs. Here in Zim we have not enough Boron in the soil but it might also be a lack of Germanium, both are needed for Calcium absorbtion.

In horses I have observed that the parathyroids get 'thrown out of balance' after each Tetanus vaccination. Any comments on this?

A client of mine had dreadful heel spurs and was only able to walk on crutches. I balanced her parathyroids with Oleum jec.30C and gave her Boron 3X. Within 2 month she was totally painfree and stayed this way. She also reported that other arthritic joints improved dramatically.

I had a lady of 56 with an incredibly stiff body, she could hardly move and her shoulders were drawn up tight. On the QX I discovered vaccinations high and on closer inspection and asking her, she said she was vaccinated a few times for Tetanus in the past. I put 'Tetanus' in 'Search' and checked the individual listings that came up and zapped the appropriate ones for 30 Secs till corrected over 100 and - her whole body relaxed! She walked out of here a different person.

Also check thyroid/parathyroid balance on the Timed Therapies from the Spinal page and her minerals of course from the Risk panel, Minerals - usually Calcium is high, Boron low. Correct them all.

Go well

Bone spurs

Any commentary on bone spurs much appreciated. Is surgery really necessary?............................................

[Guest guest]

bone spurs are from calcium build up which are the bones way to reinforce themselves. They are a result of over worked and weakened muscles and tendons. Refer them to a Neuromuscular Therapist or chiropractor who is open to deep soft tissue work.

Re: bone spurs

I understand that bone spurs are made up of calcium phosphate - a diet too

high in phosperous (from preservatives, fertilizers etc.

Coral Calcium has relieved bone spurs. Also, has reduced a friend's asthma

medication by half. He has also a keener smell and rested his 'restless

legs'. Also good for fibromyalgia, pain, circulation, eczema etc. etc.

I work with a Canadian company that has 100% pure coral calcium - nothing

added - nothing taken away. This company is NOT multi-level so there is

considerable savings.

Information on this specific coral calcium can be obtained from

www.herbalab.com However, if you are interested in lower pricing - email

me at syemm@...

Cheers

1)try acupucnture combines with Distraction technique

2) Chinese herb prescription: Kan Gu Zhen Shen Pien, may help this condition

Just a thought ..., no experience...., for "pointed" delivery wouldn't it be possible the activate the point probe from main test screen on QX, then apply tip of probe to the bone spur area while running rife tx if that is the therapy of choice???? Maybe Kelsey can answer this one = I don't know if rife runs through the point probe ( I have dental ones). Sally

Re: Bone spurs

We would use a specific Rife frequency pattern with our Rife system just for bone spurs, the conducting paddles would be placed directly over the bone area affected and run per the recommended time (9min) and disolve the spur in much the same way we use the Rife system to disolve kidney and or gall stones. While there are Rife frequency potentials in the QXCI, I would not know how to match the delivery technology of the Rife-specific square wave-generator, or if in fact, it is possible with the QX. Barry at QWC ............................................

[Guest guest]

By setting the point probe active in the test panel an therapy can be output from that point onwards. The QXCI Rife is a Homeopathic QX equivalent version (my opinion) and is thus subtler. I have heard users enter frequencies into the manual "Rife" facility with apparent success. Remember that there still is considerable debate about what frequencies do what and this is the subject of Rife Research Groups research at present.

sally, yes I would think you could use the probe output on the qx, but my point is , there is decades of specific science behind Rife frequency generation and the therapy is very frequency and time specific. I do not see this science used to this degree of targeting in the QX unless there is an expanded program just for Rife therapy that I am not aware of. Barry

I have a large bone spur on my c-3 or c-4 disk (I forget which one they

said it was), and it makes my neck/back of my head/shoulder/back hurt

absolutely non-stop no matter what I take/do. Those things aren't

" just " anything...bleh.

Ouch! I have bone spurs on my big toes. One was operated on, but it just

grew back. I get frustrated when I tell docs about it and they call

them " bunions " . No, no, these are big huge bone growths that swell up

and hurt like crazy! I think it would be very painful in your neck, sorry

I have been using Hydrangea (herb) to help soften bone spurs.
