Brief Answer:
My suggestion.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Actually, naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug used as pain relieving agent.

Symptomatic heel spurs are treated by measures that decrease the associated inflammation or avascularity and avoid reinjury.

Typically, treatment is directed toward the associated condition such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis or arthritis that caused the heel spur to form.

Natural home remedies include

-Local ice applications both reduce pain and inflammation.
-Physical therapy methods, including stretching exercises
-Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen (Advil) or injections of cortisone, are often helpful in providing pain relief.

Hope this information would help you.
