Can rice vinegar foot bath cure heel spurs?

Whether it is rice vinegar, white vinegar, or aged vinegar, none of them can treat bone spurs. Therefore, when bone spurs occur, do not use this method to treat them. Of course, you can use white vinegar to add appropriate amount of hot water to soak your feet, which has a certain effect of relieving pain and promoting blood circulation. Such effect can only be an auxiliary role. When bone spurs occur, regular treatment should be carried out in time, and some painkillers such as ibuprofen can be taken when pain occurs. If conservative treatment is not effective, surgery can be used.

The treatment of bone spurs is bone hyperplasia. There is currently no effective treatment for bone hyperplasia in clinical practice. Generally, conservative treatment is mainly used to control the progression of the disease through oral and topical medications and physical therapy.

If it is confirmed to be a bone spur, take ibuprofen, indomethacin, and amoxicillin orally for temporary symptomatic treatment, and perform local blockade treatment if necessary. If the hyperplasia seriously affects the patient's life and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment is required. However, the long-term effects of surgery are poor.

Prevention 1. Choose soft-soled shoes. Shoes with rubber soles are better for the feet. Avoid walking on hard surfaces such as concrete, marble, or tile. Add pads to your heels to reduce pain. 2. Hot compress: If the pain is severe, you can use a flaxseed pack for hot compress. 3. Soaking your feet in hot and cold water alternately can greatly help alleviate symptoms. Massaging the soles of your feet with ice can also help.

Clinical manifestations : 1. When the heel is pushed down, there is a pricking sensation inside, and a numb feeling when touched with the hand; 2.

The outer skin of the heel is red and swollen, and it will feel hot when touched with the hand; 4.
