Get Back to Your Active Lifestyle with Orthopedic Acupuncture for Plantar Fasciitis Relief
Orthopedic acupuncture is a safe and effective solution for treating plantar fasciitis, a common foot condition that causes pain and discomfort. It can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Plantar fasciitis can be frustrating and debilitating, causing sharp pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. Fortunately, there is a solution that doesn’t involve surgery or medications. Orthopedic “dry needling” acupuncture can efficiently resolve plantar fasciitis with just a few needles.
Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
- Plantar fasciitis inflames the foot’s thick tissue band. After resting, the discomfort usually returns after the first few steps. Palpating the foot can reveal painful and taught tissue, helping identify the cause of the plantar fascia.
The Benefits of Dry Needling Techniques
- Dry needling requires only one to three needles. The needle induces involuntary contraction and relaxation at the plantar fascia motor point. Tissue heals as blood flows to it. Massage and stretching to improve circulation and fiber elongation can hasten healing.
Observing Walking Habits
- Foot pain and walking behaviors can indicate treatment success. Gait includes foot, ankle, and knee positions. Dropped arches and foot shuffling are standard gait deviations. Straightening the feet and knees lifts the arch, realigns the bones, and prevents additional aggravation.
Supporting the Feet
- Arch support shoes and inserts are controversial. It may help individuals with foot pain and structural issues, but most people should avoid it. Using a device to place the arch can weaken those muscles, which is terrible for the body parts that carry us about.
