Is dry needling effective for the management of plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It connects the heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of the foot.
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and can develop as a result of overstretching overuse, or a medical condition.
Plantar fasciitis is often associated with a heel spur, a spike of bone poking out from the heel bone, although many people have heel spurs without any pain.
Moderate to low evidence suggests a positive effect of TrP dry needling for improving pain intensity and pain-related disability in patients with plantar heel pain of musculoskeletal origin in the short- and long-term, respectively.
