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.
Understanding the Root Cause
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.
Our Personalised Treatment Approach
Our approach combines:
Acupuncture: Invigorate circulation and remove foot stagnation
Herbal Medicine: Warm channels and strengthen organ function
Tuina Massage: Relax fascia and promote healing naturally
