MIS Spur Resection
Persistent heel pain can make every step uncomfortable and limit your daily activities. At Flex Foot & Ankle, Dr. Giannin Perez, DPM, FACFAS, performs MIS Spur Resection — a minimally invasive procedure that removes painful heel spurs while preserving healthy tissue for a faster recovery.
MIS Spur Resection Procedure in Manhattan
During MIS Spur Resection, Dr. Perez removes the painful heel spur through a small incision using specialized minimally invasive surgical techniques. The procedure is designed to minimize disruption to surrounding muscles, tendons, and soft tissues while effectively relieving pain.
When scar tissue, chronic inflammation, or damaged soft tissue contributes to persistent symptoms, additional procedures may be performed to optimize healing. In selected patients, regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Shockwave Therapy may be incorporated into the treatment plan to support recovery of the Achilles tendon and surrounding tissues.
What Is MIS Spur Resection?
MIS Spur Resection is a minimally invasive heel spur surgery used to remove painful bone spurs that develop on the heel. Through very small incisions and specialized instruments, the procedure removes the bony prominence while minimizing disruption to surrounding muscles, tendons, and soft tissues.
Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive techniques generally result in smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort, and a faster recovery.

MIS Spur Resection FAQs
Have questions about MIS Spur Resection?
Learn more about minimally invasive heel spur surgery, recovery, candidacy, and treatment options with answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask.
Who is a good candidate for MIS Spur Resection?
Patients with chronic heel pain caused by a heel spur who have not improved with conservative treatments such as orthotics, stretching, physical therapy, or injections may be candidates for surgery.
Is minimally invasive heel spur surgery painful?
Because the procedure uses small incisions and minimizes tissue disruption, many patients experience less postoperative discomfort compared with traditional open surgery.
How long is the recovery after MIS Spur Resection?
Recovery varies by patient, but most people gradually return to daily activities over several weeks while following a personalized rehabilitation plan.
How Is a Heel Spur Diagnosed?
Diagnosis begins with a thorough physical examination and review of your symptoms. Dr. Perez evaluates foot structure, walking mechanics, and areas of tenderness.
Digital X-rays are commonly used to confirm the presence of a heel spur and help determine whether surgery is appropriate. Additional imaging may be recommended in selected cases to evaluate surrounding soft tissues.
Will removing a heel spur cure plantar fasciitis?
Not every patient with plantar fasciitis requires heel spur removal. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatments have failed and the heel spur is contributing to persistent pain.
When can I walk after surgery?
Most patients begin walking according to their surgeon’s postoperative instructions, with activity increasing gradually as healing progresses.
