Bone spurs on the feet can be managed under a physician’s guidance with anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications—such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sustained-release tablets, or sodium diclofenac sustained-release capsules—to alleviate symptoms. However, if symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek prompt evaluation at a reputable medical institution and, per the physician’s recommendation, undergo treatments such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy.
