Several times a day roll your foot on the bottle and the Plantar will loosen out and the pain will go away. Occasionally I get this and do this as directed by a Podiatrist once and I save office visits and cure myself.

Franny, welcome back to TV! Sorry about your husband's discomfort.
The above method will help alleviate the pain with plantar faciitis. I'm not sure if it helps with heel spurs.
Your husband needs to get some orthodontics and sport shoes! They have gel orthodontics at Walmart, for around $40. There is a machine to "diagnose" your foot problems. A podiatrist told me the store-bought gel pads are just as effective as custom made ones. This may help until you find a good foot doctor.
As a fellow Canuck, I try to have as few medical appointments in Florida as possible, so I can't recommend a foot doctor. (But I can recommend a good Ophthalmologist if you ever need one).
