Will massage therapy heal a bone spur?

Answer by  thattractorguy (2970)

Applying direct pressure to a bone spur in this type of therapy will cause discomfort and not increase your healing. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes.

Massage therapy is unlikely to treat a bone spur itself, but it may be helpful in relieving some of the painful symptoms. This would be particularly true for a heel spur that forms in response to plantar fasciitis, caused by an overly tight ligament in the foot.
