Trem,
  The Birkenstock inserts are what did me the most good, if I go without them 
too long, the tendons flare up, so looks like I'll be using the inserts for the 
forseeable future...so I'd have to guess the tendon problems called "heel 
spurs" are really mechanical in nature as a mechanical solution fixes them.

  Hi Paula,

  I too suffered with heel spurs for a long time and the docs couldn't find the 
problem.  Don't know why they couldn't figure it out.  It bothered me for 
several years before I found a foot doc that made me a pair of orthotics.  
Fixed me instantaneously.  

  Regards,

  Trem
