Dr. Lin Yunfei
For calcaneal fractures with bone spurs, conservative treatment is initially recommended. This includes adequate rest and protection to avoid irritation of the affected area, as well as maintaining warmth. Local heat application using a hot water bag may also help relieve symptoms. If necessary, under a doctor's guidance, medications such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, blood circulation-improving and stasis-resolving agents, and cartilage-nourishing medications can be taken for treatment.
