plantar fasciitis

[Guest guest]

Ah Shi needling treatments with direct moxa on the end of the needles

has been very effective for many types of pain, including sports injuries.

 

Also, if the injury is congruent with a certain meridian, the Shu Stream

point on or near the injured area may be needled along with the Shu Stream

point of the paired meridian (Tai Yang, Shao Yin, etc.) on the opposite

side.

 

Example: GB-42 on the right foot with TB-3 on the left hand. Or St-43

on the left foot and LI-3 on the right hand.

The pain is quite far forward on the Plantar. It is directly on

the K1 point on the left foot.

It has been suggested that I try the complementary meridian LI at

5; 10; and 11. Have you any views?

Thanks for the current feedback.

Taoist,

 

I'm so sorry to hear of your PF. I have had it, and it is quite

painful.

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix, depending..., it can take

months.

For pain of the soles-LU-8 Important to do GB-34 to benefit sinews, add

SI-6.

There is an important exercise to do daily, religiously. It's

really easy

and should be done 3x/day. Stand on the edge of a step on the balls

of

your feet and drop your heels, angle your toes up, don't grip the step

with

your toes. If your over 50, do a gentle stretch, progressive if

under. Wear

soft soled rubber soles ... per instructions. You're

stretching your Achilles tendon which is what is involved in PF.

The pain

may get worse for a couple of weeks since the fascia has no elastic

fibers.

The AT and the PF need to have equal tension for things to be normal

 

The pain comes when the AT shortens and puts stress on the PF.

An orthopedic surgeon infoed me on this one.

He said that it would eliminate the need for orthotics, PT,meds,surgery.

 

I already had custom orthotics ($$$$) made before starting this

exercise. I also switched to Birkenstocks. And purchased some

 

ViscSpot insoles and heel wedges....really squishy inserts...

feel like gummi bears. They really made walking tolerable til the

problem was resolved. It took me about eight months ... but

everyone

is different and this was before acup./herbs.

I hope you find relief soon...ouch.

Hi. If it took place just after Taiji, use Zheng Gu Shui 3 or 4 times a day (local use) and you'll be free in a very shor time, in some cases 2 days!

If you know Huang Li Chun auriculotherapy method, do in both ears an apex bleeding, then select finger, toe and sole points, spleen, endocrine, and if you have no troble with you arterial pressure, adrenal. If you don't know it, do an aprex bleeding anyway, that it'll help you a lot.

Thank you Roberta for the advice. Have been using Dit Da Jow with

some success but will change to Zheng Gu Shui and see if it`s

better. I have put a seed in the ear and it has given some

temporary relief.

Hi. You must do an apex bleeding to relief pain. It's the most important procedure in this case. Use both ears and if it's not ok, repeat a week later.

Don't use just one point. It'll be much more effective if you select a group of then.

By the way, when this PF began? If it's chronic, Zheng Gu Shui won't be the best choice. Please, let me know.

Be well, Roberta

What can I uses.

 

What works best is an inj, which I can't get my Dr. to give me. (HMO)

I know it's not good, but it works and it's gone for a long time.

 

He's had me use Myoflex(asprin Crm) doesn't work, then he

has me trying Devil's Claw Gel. That doesn't work as well.

 

The stuff he's telling me to use it more for joint pain. Plantat

Fascitits isn't a joint.

 

Thanks

Vickie

[Guest guest]

Vickie,

 

Have you tried using a clinical massage therapist to loosen the muscles that

may tighten the plantar fascia? Muscles of the calf are especially

important, both to massage and stretch. Find someone who is familiar with

this problem and have had some successes, perhaps someone who works with

athletes. Some possible referral sources:

 

www.nmtcenter.com

www.iahp.com

www.amtamassage.org (click on Find a Therapist - there are profiles)

 

Have you tried heat or ice (see which works for you) on the plantar surface

of the foot itself? An analgesic salve may be helpful also.

A previous post to this group addressed this and a member suggested to buy a

foot roller that is serrated and roll the affected area over in ONE direction

while at rest. I have recommended this to a number of clients since then and

have had tremendous feedback. Injections are not good so I hope this helps you

avoid that.

Your right the best thing is a cortizone injection. I would find

another doctor as most people have HMO or PPO and its a very common

treatment. My health care covered it all. Sounds like your doctor is

just a bit flakey.

 

Also, anything antiinflamitory. Beyond that look up the stretching

exercies and perform those daily. Ice ice ice.

Hello Ladies,

 

I would find a doctor that specializes in sports

medicine or at least a specialist who has dealt with

this before. It is not really a problem for your

general practicioner.

 

It needs to be looked at because the way I understand

it, you could have a million cortisone shots and that

only tides you over for a while. It does not recede.

Perhaps if you get it in its early stages you could

possibly rehabilitate it, but otherwise I am sure a

minor surgery is in your future.

 

What happens is that your tendon has pulled away from

the bone and under the tendon deposits have formed,

these deposits usually need to be removed because they

are rubbing against the tendon causing pain.

 

Go see a well selected proffesional and hopefully you

can still work to get it back to normal.

 

Sincerely,

Michael

I had this condition and I have had six injections in my right foot- the left

foot started to bother me and I tried to ignore it- about that time I started

to do Yoga- I became totally involved in Yoga- never realizing that the pain in

my foot totally went away.

 

All those shots of cortizone did nothing- Yoga helped greatly and now I am pain

free!

I can't say any in particular- I went to a few Yoga classes and just did my

practicing- I just followed the teacher and the pain just went away- it did take

a while- Yoga is not an " instant " fix of any means- but I do have to say while

that pain went away- I also became enlightened . Soon many things started not

to " hurt " anymore.

check out- some Yoga sites- type in Yoga on a search and see what happens.

Maybe there are varying degrees but that is not how I understand it

at all.

 

The injections are to help with the swelling and to heal the

inflamation/injury. The bone spur never goes away. It is just that

you heal the injury around the spur. After the injury has healed you

need to keep your feet in the best possible health. The same way you

keep the rest of you in the best possible health, exercise,

stretching and good nutrition.

 

It has been 4 years now and I have not injured again because I take

precausions.

 

Getting surgury is actually very very rare. I talked to an osteo

surgeon and a podiatrist and they both said surgury is only done in

super extreme cases.

Michael, are you possibly writing about bone spurs, which are those calcium

deposits that build up under the periosteum when it is pulled away from the

bone, most often seen on the calcaneous (heel) bone?

Maybe this is a dead topic, but I am saddened to see all the pro-

injection responses to this type of injury. As a massage therapist I

can tell you that there are many good things that can be done with

massage, exercise and appropriate therapuetic treatment. These

responses suprise me for an 'alternative answers' page. This is not

an uncommon condition (although can be quite painful) and I'm sure a

small amount of research in your region could provide you with much

more natural, safe, and effective treatment. --- In
