Heel pain is a very common clinical disease. Most heel pain is classified as " plantar fasciitis ", which is caused by aseptic inflammation of the tendon or fascia in the soles of the foot. The main clinical manifestations are the pain and discomfort of the heel. The tenderness point is often located near the heel. The characteristics of the pain are very painful in the first step in the morning, which is relieved after a little activity, and will aggravate after excessive exercise. In addition, the pain is aggravated when walking excessively, and severe patients even feel pain when standing and resting.
The cause of plantar fasciitis is due to the long-term effect of overload pressure, which causes acute or chronic damage to the plantar fascia, which leads to inflammation and pain. In addition, congenital structural abnormalities can also lead to the occurrence of this disease, such as flat foot , high arch foot, and too short heel tendons.
Clinical X-ray examinations include a considerable number of patients who will find the presence of bone spurs in the corresponding part. Patients should think that sharp things like bone spurs are present in the feet like nails, which will definitely cause pain. But in fact, the existence of bone spurs is not related to pain. Even normal people who do not have heel pain may have bone spurs on the heel. There is no certain relationship between the two. Therefore, don’t add pressure to yourself, thinking that bone spurs are the cause of pain.
patients should actively receive clinical treatment. Patients with mild symptoms can receive Chinese medicine soaking, and those with more serious symptoms can receive acupuncture treatment.
