Plantar Fasciitis - (Heel Pain)  -How Acupuncture can help

7/8/2012

 Over the last few weeks in clinic I have had a number of clients who have presented with this condition.  It is called Plantar Fasciitis or otherwise known as heel pain.

So what is Plantar Fasciitis?
It is the most common cause of heel pain.  It is caused when the ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes get's damaged or inflamed.   The ligament is called the Plantar Fascia.  When it gets strained it is weakened and causes pain in your heel when you walk.  The Plantar Fascia is the ligament that makes up the arch in your foot.

Why does it happen?
It can happen for many reasons.  Normally it is caused by repetitive strain, ill fitting shoes with lack of arch support, if you already have high arches or flat feet, if you are on your feet a lot, use your feet quite a lot e.g. running or sports etc.  It is more common in middle aged persons and if you are carrying a bit more weight than you should this all affects this ligament.  Also if you have tight calf muscles this can cause heel pain.

So what does it feel like?
Most people with plantar fasciitis have pain when they take their first steps first thing in the morning or after sitting for a long time. Once you get walking you may have less stiffness.  Sometimes as the day progresses the pain gets worse and it may also hurt when climbing the stairs or if you are standing for a long time.

So how can Acupuncture help?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into different areas of the body known as acupuncture points. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture can be an effective form of pain relief for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
The acupuncture points that are chosen are around the ankle and foot, also points on the calf are used if the calf muscles are tight.  Treatments are advisable twice a week for the first week and then once a week for about 4 weeks.  Sometimes electro acupuncture is used.  Recent studies through the  "Journal of Medical Acupuncture, show that " the combination of electro acupuncture and traditional acupuncture to the affected foot musculature produced a marked reduction in pain and improvement in function with a limited number of treatments.

What our Clients have to say....

Karen, Dublin

I’d like to thank Niamh for all her treatment and care during my last pregnancy.  I came to Niamh requesting help to keep my blood pressure down because on my previous pregnancies I was on medication for BP which I wanted to avoid on my third pregnancy.  Niamh treated me on a regular basis and I avoided medication and high BP issues. I also had 2 previous  inductions and I really wanted to avoid a third induction.  Niamh started pre-induction treatment a few weeks before my due date and then worked up to the full induction the week of my due date and I was delighted when I started labour myself 3 days after my due date and baby was born soon after that.  Niamh did a great job and gave me the outcome that I wanted.  I’d highly recommend Niamh because she is friendly, approachable, very professional  and thrives to achieve the best treatment for her clients.

Jane, Bettystown, Co. Meath

I visited Anam Mai Acupuncture for treatment for post natal depression, anxiety and stress, and found it to be extremely effective.

Niamh has a natural caring attitude towards her clients, and a real passion for her career. In this way, she earns your trust and you feel able to put yourself completely in her hands.

For those who have never tried acupuncture, Niamh is always ready to explain what she is doing and how this will be effective. She has clearly been trained very well in her chosen profession, and her love for this shows through.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Niamh and acupuncture to my friends and family. I found that she was able to help me enormously, and I am grateful to her for this

Lisa, Drogheda, Co. Louth

I attended Niamh in Anam Mai Acupuncture throughout my third pregnancy and found the sessions really beneficial. I had never overly been a fan of needles before, but I found that I really looked forward to my treatments with Niamh. Her easy manner and quiet confidence allowed me to relax and leave my stress behind. I found the acupuncture treatments wonderful for blocked sinuses and pregnancy swelling in my legs and ankles. I went for weekly treatments and the last treatment I had was two days before I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy at home after a short and wonderful labour. Thank you Niamh for all your help and support throughout my pregnancy and post-natally!
