Acupuncture & Natural Solutions for Foot Pain, Plantar Fasciitis, and Neuropathy
Acupuncture has worked for thousands of years to help people get out of pain.
The super-tiny needles go into your legs, arms, and hands to redirect the blood flow to your feet. Within 5 minutes, you notice decreased inflammation, improved mobility, and less pain.
The way that we address foot pain is by seeing exactly where the issue is coming from.
And by “see,” I mean “feel.”
One of the best things about Acupuncture is that we can get to the root issue of your health problems.
Not all foot pain is created equal. We’re going to push around, gently, on your feet to understand exactly what’s going on. Then, we can figure out the best locations for the Acupuncture needles. Don’t worry – most of the needles will NOT go in your feet. 🙂
We can address all sorts of foot pains: plantar faciitis, bunions and other toe problems, neuropathy, heel pain, and more.
The needles can help relax muscles, move congested Qi (energy) flow, and reduce inflammation.
One of the reasons so many people end up with hip, knee, ankle, and foot issues is that, as a society, we’re walking weird.
In the last 100 years or so, we went from being able to walk miles a day without problems. Now we drive to the mailbox.
Your walking posture may be worth looking into…
Ideally, with each step, you have relaxed hips and a slight bend in the knee, especially as you land. The glutes and feet are active. The activity in those muscles pushes you forward, like a built-in walking stick.
In good standing posture, which is equally important, you want your weight distributed equally between both feet. Try not to lean all your weight onto one leg. You also want your weight evenly balanced between the front and the back of the foot. Leaning too much forward could lead to those pesky bunions. Having your weight in the middle allows you to activate your foot muscles!
I put together this quick video of a chameleon who can teach us how to properly walk. Give it a look. We can learn a lot from this little guy.
He moves very slow so you’ll catch it all!
