The department where I work are conducting a study into the effects of acupuncture for the treatment of Wikipedia reference-linkplantar fasciitis. So far the best results have been from dry needling the sore point with periosteal pecking- a very quick and can often be painful treatment, but patients who have had no resolution of symptoms with other conservatives treatments are often keen to try it. The other method was needling around the calcaneus which tends to take longer to have a positive effect. should be interesting to see the results.
