Spine & Joint
At BJRM Ayurveda, we treat spine and joint conditions with Marma Bandhana Chikitsa—a non-invasive therapy that realigns the spine, restores mobility, and heals from the root. No surgery, no injections, no long-term medication.
Skin Ailments
At BJRM Ayurveda, we treat skin conditions by addressing their root causes—heat, toxins, stress, and poor digestion. Our approach purifies the blood, balances doshas, and strengthens immunity for lasting results.
Calcaneal Spur
Calcaneal Spur (Heel Spur) Treatment
A calcaneal spur, commonly called a heel spur, is a bony outgrowth that forms at the base of the heel bone (calcaneus), often causing sharp pain while walking or standing. Though small in size, the discomfort it brings can be debilitating and chronic.
At BJRM Ayurveda, we treat calcaneal spur using a root-cause Ayurvedic approach — combining herbal medicines, external therapies, and Marma-based techniques — to relieve pain, dissolve the spur, reduce inflammation, and restore comfort without surgery or steroid injections.
What is Calcaneal Spur?
A calcaneal spur, commonly known as a heel spur, is a calcium deposit that builds up over time, forming a sharp, bony projection on the underside or back of the heel bone (calcaneus). This occurs in response to repetitive stress, strain, or tension on the foot muscles and ligaments—especially at the point where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel. Over time, the body responds to this ongoing stress by laying down extra bone in the area, leading to the formation of a spur.
This condition is frequently linked to plantar fasciitis, a painful inflammation of the thick band of connective tissue (plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of the foot and supports the arch. While a heel spur itself may not always cause pain, the inflammation of surrounding soft tissues, especially when combined with plantar fasciitis, can lead to sharp, stabbing pain—usually felt when taking the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
What Causes Calcaneal Spur?
Prolonged walking or standing on hard surfaces
Flat feet or abnormal gait mechanics
Obesity or rapid weight gain
Inadequate footwear or lack of arch support
Diabetes and other metabolic conditions
Age-related degeneration and stress on heel structures
Repetitive high-impact activities like running or jumping
Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon placing strain on the heel
Ayurveda’s Perspective on Calcaneal Spur (Vatakantaka)
In Ayurveda, this condition is described as “Vatakantaka” — a disorder caused by Vata dosha aggravation in the heel area, combined with Ama (toxic waste) that deposits in joints and ligaments.
Ayurvedic Understanding:
- Aggravated Vata dries up lubricating fluids in joints, making tissues brittle
- Ama accumulates in weak or overused tissues, leading to inflammation and calcification
- Sandhi shula (joint pain) and Snayu shotha (ligament inflammation) lead to spur formation
Symptoms of Calcaneal Spur
A calcaneal spur is a calcium deposit causing a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel. It often develops over time due to strain on foot muscles, ligaments, or plantar fascia. Symptoms may be sharp and disabling, especially during the first steps in the morning or after long periods on your feet.
Common symptoms of Calcaneal Spur include:
- Sharp, stabbing pain in the heel during the first steps in the morning
- Pain that worsens with prolonged standing or walking
- Swelling or inflammation in the heel area
- Tenderness at the bottom or back of the heel
- Sensation of “walking on a pebble” or “nail in the heel”
- Stiffness or tightness in the arch or Achilles tendon

What Our Patients Say
Discover how BJRM has transformed lives through gentle, effective, and root-cause Ayurvedic treatments
I’m 70 years old and had severe pain in my hips, back, and legs. After visiting BJRM Ayurveda, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips. Following the treatment, I’m now able to walk without any support.
Swarnambal
Shankarapura, Bengaluru
I’m 43 years old. I had intense hip pain and numbness running down my leg, and couldn’t sit for more than five minutes. A friend recommended BJRM Ayurveda. The doctor suggested Marma Bandhana, a non-invasive treatment. This is my 11th session out of 15, and I’ve almost fully recovered.
Bhuvanesh
Dommasandra, Bengaluru
I’m 73 years old and had been suffering from bilateral osteoarthritis in both knees for over five years. Nothing worked in allopathy, so I decided to try Ayurvedic treatment at BJRM. After 15 sessions of Marma Bandhana therapy, my knee problem is almost cured. I also had gastric issues and am currently undergoing treatment for that as well.

I was suffering from multiple complications in both my knee joints, including joint effusion and osteoarthritis. I could barely walk. A friend recommended BJRM Ayurveda, and when I visited, the doctor explained everything clearly. They began my treatment, and after 12 sessions, both my knees feel much better.

I had severe shoulder pain — I couldn’t lift my hand at all. After 12 sessions of Marma Bandhana at BJRM, I’ve fully recovered from the pain. I definitely recommend BJRM to others facing similar issues.

I was struggling with back pain. I consulted several doctors, and all of them recommended surgery. On a friend’s advice, I visited BJRM Ayurveda and underwent treatment for six months. I’ve fully recovered — without surgery.
