When Bones Go Rogue: Understanding and Treating Abnormal Bone Growth (Bone Spurs) in Kailua, Oahu

ne tissue, known as abnormal bone growth or bone spurs. These can cause pain, stiffness, and discomfort that make even simple movements feel like a challenge.

At Dr.Foot Hawaii, we specialize in diagnosing and treating these conditions with precision. Whether you’re dealing with a painful heel spur, arthritis-related bone growth, or post-injury complications, our goal is to help you walk comfortably again — island style.


🦶 What Is Abnormal Bone Growth?

Abnormal bone growth happens when the body forms extra bone tissue, often as a reaction to:

  • Repetitive stress or pressure on joints
  • Arthritis or inflammation
  • Old injuries or fractures
  • Poor foot alignment or abnormal gait

These growths can form almost anywhere in the foot or ankle — but are most common on the heel (heel spurs), top of the foot, or around joints. Over time, they can cause pain, rubbing, and stiffness, especially inside shoes.


🌺 Common Symptoms

You might have abnormal bone growth if you notice:

  • Sharp or dull foot pain when walking or standing
  • Swelling or stiffness in joints
  • A hard bump or lump under the skin
  • Difficulty fitting into shoes comfortably

Some people feel nothing at first — but over time, these bony growths can start to affect movement, balance, and posture.


🩺 Diagnosis and Treatment Options

At Dr.Foot Hawaii, we use advanced diagnostic imaging, such as digital X-rays and 3D scans, to pinpoint the cause and location of abnormal bone growth.

Depending on your condition, treatment options may include:

  • Custom orthotics to reduce pressure on affected areas
  • Anti-inflammatory therapy to manage pain and swelling
  • Footwear modifications for comfort and support
  • Physical therapy to improve mobility and reduce stress on joints
  • Minimally invasive surgery (if needed) to remove bone growth and restore natural movement

Our clinic’s foot and ankle surgeon is a renowned specialist in corrective procedures — focusing on precision, minimal downtime, and lasting relief.
