Acupuncture for Plantar Fasciitis

2/8/2017

Comments

 
Many people suffer from chronic heel pain. Whether it’s from standing all day at work or from activities like running or dancing, the end result is “OUCH!”.
Plantar fasciitis is a repetitive stress injury affecting the band of connective tissues linking the heel bone to the toes.

When long-term, repetitive stress occurs to the foot, heel and particularly the arch; the fascia of the arch (the plantar fascia) suffers micro-tears.

​Over time these tears stress the attachment of the plantar fascia along the heel, causing inflammation, swelling, weakness and pain. This is often worse upon awakening in the morning and better with activity.

Acupuncture is particularly well suited for relieving all kinds of pain including plantar fasciitis. Acupuncture needles encourage the body’s natural ability to ease pain and heal itself by moving the stuck "qi" and blood in the area. Stuck qi and blood is basically also known as inflammation.

​Plantar fasciitis patients often experience relief after the first session, and many report significant if not permanent pain reduction after six to eight treatments.
