Please see linked, These are summary of papers about plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is most common disease of heel pain. Because of it's severe pain it impact to ordinary life.
 Inspite of  the high prevalence of plantar heel pain, conventional treatments are still unsatisfied.

In my view, Acupuncture treatment combined with Physiotherapy or Injection treatment's success rate is higher than other treatment. and the most important thing is rehabilitation stretching!!

An Introduction - Acupuncture & KAHC!

Hey! What’s all this fuss about Complementary and Alternative medicine?

I don’t know about you, but every time I need to visit a doctor for something that ails me, I wish I didn’t have to. It’s a nerve wrecking experience to go to the man (or woman) in the white coat and get diagnosed. But I’ve found a white coat experience that isn’t worrying at all! In fact, it’s a refreshing change! They call themselves the CAM doctors or Complementary Alternative Medicine Doctors.

What’s that?? Complementary and Alternative Medicine has never been more popular. It’s been around for centuries, treating people with a variety of problems. An age old practice which has been gaining popularity in the recent past. Today a lot of lay people like you and me prefer to get treated in totality – body, mind and soul. CAM is tailor made to treat each patient in his or her own unique way, rather than a standard OTC pill or procedure.

Now this is not a “for or against” write up. It’s just a way to show that there exists more than one way of getting yourself treated and you may choose whichever may be more suitable to you. CAM can be used stand-alone or can aid your existing treatment plan if acceptable to all three parties viz. yourself, your current doctor and your CAM doctor.
