What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that causes pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue running across the bottom of the foot, from the heel bone to the toes. This tissue supports your arch and absorbs shock when you walk.
However, repeated stretching or overuse due to daily activities can cause micro-tears and inflammation, leading to pain, which is typically experienced as a stabbing discomfort near the heel.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic and natural approach to treating plantar fasciitis by addressing underlying imbalances, rather than simply masking symptoms.
What causes plantar fasciitis
While Western medicine attributes plantar fasciitis to repetitive strain and micro-tears, TCM traces the condition to imbalances in the body's Qi (vital energy) and Blood circulation. These imbalances directly affect the meridians that run through the foot.
How TCM treats plantar fasciitis naturally
TCM addresses the root causes of pain by restoring your body's Qi (vital energy) and blood circulation. Through acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, and herbal foot baths, TCM provides effective relief whilst supporting your body's natural healing process.
