Azendea

From a TCM perspective

Plantar fasciitis often presents as:

* Cold-Damp Bi in the heel channel region
* Kidney deficiency failing to nourish the heel
* Local qi and blood stagnation from repetitive strain

In cases with:

* Morning pain that improves with movement
* Cold sensitivity
* Chronic symptoms (>6 months)
* Pale tongue, deep or slow pulse

adding moxa to acupuncture is theoretically very appropriate because it:

* Warms the channels
* Promotes local circulation
* Relaxes contracted fascia and muscle
* Supports Kidney Yang
