The term \"heel pain\" is used to describe a common, painful condition that is localized in the plantar part of the heel and worsens when weight is placed on the heel. Patients with heel pain are more likely to have thickened plantar fascia, abnormal plantar fascia tissue, thicker plantar heel fat pad, and calcaneal spur. Calcaneal spurs are bony protrusions that typically occur just in front of the medial calcaneal tuberosity. Systemic medical treatments, physical therapy agents, exercise and local injections are often applied for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur. This study is to examine the effects of ESWT and kinesio taping on pain and other clinical outcomes in patients with calcaneal spurs.
