Heel pin relief by acupuncture is usually used method. It calls for inserting thin needles into areas of the body which are in pain or associated to the pain area. This is very old method developed in China some 5000 years ago. It is at the moment more accepted in the Western society. This technique is extensively used in Asia as curing and pain relief method.
Meridians
Foundation of the philosophy is that energy flows all through meridians therefore meaning that heel pain relief can be accomplished by inserting needles everyplace the length of the meridian which is linked to the heel. The thought is there is a blockage (typically at the source of pain region) and removing the blockage will permit free energy flow that is our usual state.
Chi
Chi is the name for energy which flows throughout the body. Acupuncture seeks to adjust the flow of energy, not to create or obliterate it, in this way the healing is working with the body rather than in opposition to it. Chi has two sides to it. Occasionally called positive and negative energy, or more typically known as Ying and Yang. Ying and Yang are intended to represent male and female energies. People have both kinds of chi flowing through them.
By permitting balance in Chi the body facilitates the blood to flow freely and carry with it additional oxygen to the affected areas. This is really the physical proof the acupuncture has worked. In the case of heel pain relief the heel is noticeably redder at the end of the treatment. This is a sign of increased blood flow to the heel. Very often immediate pain relief is also observed and in some cases the pain is removed totally.
Needles
Needles used are fine and do not induce bleeding when inserted not like usual type injections which doctors would make. The needles are placed in particular spots called acupuncture points. Accupunture points are also referred to as pressure points. Acupuncture points tend to accumulate pain and are not often recognized by the person until pressure is applied to that particular point. To help in the heeling process the needles will be twisted by the doctor using them or they will contain slight current applied through the needles into the body. Clamps are attached to the needles with wiring extending to a current regulator.
