Hi, heel spurs are commonly caused by the plantar fascia being tight pulling on the bone they are attached to at the heel, I would suggest lots of deep tissue massage work on the sole of her foot and up into the calf muscles to loosen the tissues off and stop the irritation of the bone and hence heel spur. Also a gel insert should help her comfort.
Seeing a good manual therapist should be of benefit.0
