  • Actually, surgery is recommended by doctors quite often. That is their first take on things, and people don't know to question it. Fortunately, the word is getting out about massage and acupuncture having more effect with no recovery from the treatment.

  • @MrWalterlmt Not in the UK it isn't! But I guess that's due to the NHS!

  • No no no, surgery!? Yikes, exercise, stretching, and regular massage. Rest and ice are very good though so that was a good mention. Ugh Drs. And their injections and surgery. *palms forehead*

  • @bellamelissa87 Surgery is very rare

  • @MrWalterlmt I'm studying podiatry and surgery is always the last thing we suggest, given that ALL other conservative treatments have failed.

  • @GabachoDSanchez I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with your one session of acupuncture. That is what I get from your uneducated response. If you only tried it once, and didn't like it, then go to someone else. If you haven't tried it, then don't comment on it.

    I have received Acu for many years for many different things. My wife is an acupuncturist, so I truly believe that it is not "bad advice".

  • @MrWalterlmt Acupuncture is complete bullshit. Quit giving bad advice

  • I had plantar faciitis for 6 weeks and as a runner, i was very frustrated at not being able to run. I rested and iced for 6 weeks and it still persisted. Finally i went for a deep muscle massage of my calves and feet and got an insole made with an arch support. To my delight, my pain has almost disappeared overnight.

  • I had it 2 years, I sorted it myself with ice after sports and gentle massage before standing up after getting out of bed. Any sign of a re-occurance and I'm back on the massage. Mine was connected to a dodgy bowling action playing cricket causing tautness in the calves, I think you need to look at the causes as well, otherwise it may re-occur?

  • Preview image is a middle finger! Lol Good vid..

  • @bellamelissa87 surgery would be in the extremist of cases where no other conservative therapys have worked

  • Make sure you go to a qualified specialist that can tell the difference from 'Plantar Fascitis" and "Bursitis"- another painful foot injury, usually involving the rear heel area.
