Abstract

Calcaneal heel spur is a typical foot problem that impairs 15–20% of the community and can affect people of all ages. Heelspur cause pain during walking and prolong standing. Calcaneal spurs' pathogenesis is poorly known. Heel spurs are found in around half of all individuals with plantar fasciitis. Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was carried out among 141 (both genders) participants mainly teachers by profession from the different hospitals of Lahore. Research was done in order to determine the incidence of heel spur in teachers. Data was collected by questionnaire and checking their radiographs. Descriptive analysis using SPSS version 26.0 to find results. Results: Overall prevalence came out as 79 (56%) teachers indicate heel spurs and 62 (44%) indicate no heel spur. Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that prolong standing can be the cause of foot pain and cause changes. Participants indicate foot pain due to heel spurs.
