Painkillers are giving little or no relief for my heel pain. is there any treatment for this by acupuncture?

YES!!: Evaluation by a podiatrist will help to determine the cause of pain which is important (as well as determining what other preventitive and treatment measures are appropriate). I have treated a number of individuals for heel pain with good success using both local points with and without electrical stimulation and with auricular (ear) accupuncture. Our podiatrist and i make a good team.

Depends on the cause: Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as, infection, tendonitis, arthritis, stress fracture, nerve irritation, retained foreign body, bone tumor, or a cyst. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
