The patient, female, Korean, in her 20s, had pain in the right heel after 2 hours of outdoor activities for several days. The pain increased after pressing with a massage ball, and a stronger tingling sensation when walking. The pain point is on the heel and radiates to the outside of the heel. After one acupuncture treatment with one needle, the pain was relieved by 90%.
Generally speaking, for the acute pain in the four limbs and back, acupuncture can treat with very quick and good effect. But if the patient has no proper treatment in the early stage or does not do any treatment, it can change to chronic pain with sore. At this stage, it will be harder to treat, because we believe the energy(Qi and Blood) has been consumed too much. We might need to change to Level 2 treatment to adjust Qi and Blood.
