Treating Plantar Fasciitis with Dry Needling 

It’s a great method , we also use shockwave which has been a game changer for us at the office with treat plantar fasciitis

Answering for posterity. I had this done and it helped me tremendously in conjunction with strengthening the foot. Had this done 4-5 times during my 2-3 months of plantar and felt it was essential for my “short” time with it.

@@claygardner4732how painful was it? I’m getting it done next week.

@@diyhomeowner8315, I think it will depend on your practitioner and your body. I'd describe my experience as very "uncomfortable" but at no time was I in pain. Psychologically it is not fun and I'd suggest not looking while it happens :)

​@@diyhomeowner8315 of you still need to do something even less invasive thst also works on tissue deeply, you could try Graston or Gua Sha, or ASTYM. Methods like those may even feel a little uncomfortable and might even tickle a little on the foot, but it eill break down any adhesions or scar tissue in the plantar fascia, and works pretty quickly. You can simulate gua sha yourself with a lid from a tiger balm jar, or a quarter, use somethinglike tiger balm or another oil or lotion to smooth the area before you do the scraping method yourself if you should choose to do so. Hope your doing well, good luck.

You are welcome ! 🙏🏽

It can be uncomfortable on certain spots that are more sensitive like the foot but pain is generally minimal if any at all
