Bone spurs, also known as osteophytes, are bony projections that form along joints. Bone spurs form due to the body's increase of a damaged (usually due to arthritis) joint's surface area in a futile attempt to improve weight distribution. However, they usually limit joint movement and typically cause pain.

Spurs are on the underside of the heel so that when you walk it hurts in the fleshy part as there is a bony growth pushing down on the smaller bones of the foot.
