Suggest Treatment For Bone Spur Growth In The Achilles Tendon?

Hello,Could you tell me please, what it is called when a bone spur grows vertically into the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel? This is not a spur on the bottom near the fascia.Also, what are the treatments for this please? Do cortisone shots work? Electric stimulation? Or just surgery to get the spur out of the tendon?Thank you
