Plantar fasciitis is a common orthopedic condition that affects the foot health of as much as 15% of the U.S. population, according to the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences.[1] However, plantar fasciitis is commonly a misdiagnosis for what is actually occurring in the foot. Plantar fasciosis is, in fact, a more accurate diagnosis given there is progressive degeneration of the plantar fascia. There is no inflammation present, which is why plantar fasciitis ("-itis" meaning inflammation) is not a correct diagnosis and often yields improper approaches to treatment. Plantar fasciosis is one of the most common foot disorders I treat, and acupuncture with moxibustion yields remarkable results.
