Plantar heel pain is an extremely painful and wearisome condition - also known as plantar fasciitis, or policeman's heel. It can be treated by various means, acupuncture being one choice.
A recent systematic review of different pieces of research has shown that there is evidence supporting the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating plantar heel pain. This is comparable to the evidence available for conventionally used interventions, such as stretching, night splints or dexamethasone (a powerful steroid).
So this review recommends that acupuncture should be considered for patients with plantar heel pain. To look at the review in more detail, click here. To return to my website, Acupuncture in Bristol and Shaftesbury, click here.
