How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views plantar fasciitis as Qi and Blood stagnation with Cold-Damp accumulation blocking foot channels, while Kidney and Spleen weakness impairs proper tendon and ligament nourishment.
Plantar fasciitis causes sharp heel pain and arch discomfort, particularly with first steps in the morning or after periods of rest, significantly affecting walking, standing, and daily mobility. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to address the underlying circulation blockages and energy stagnation causing plantar fascia inflammation, promoting natural healing and restoring comfortable foot function through comprehensive treatment approaches.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), plantar fasciitis is commonly viewed as Qi and Blood stagnation with Cold or Damp accumulation obstructing the channels and collaterals of the foot, leading to pain and inflammation. Weak Kidney and Spleen functions can contribute to poor circulation and inability to properly nourish tendons and ligaments, resulting in chronic pain.
