Calcaneus

Calcaneus

Pain in the heel of the foot. Calcaneal spur: sometimes can be a problem of Achilles tendon.

Bladder and Kidney both have the muscle channels in the calcaneus. They are treated in parallel.

Distal point: search for an Ashi point near the PC-7, needling and stimulating.

The great point: BL-57. Also:

  • KI-6 (moving it towards the heel, under the talus)
  • BL-56 (moving it towards the heel)
  • KI-2 (below the scaphoid)
  • BL-63 - Xi
  • KI-5
  • BL-61
  • The tip of the calcaneus, hurts a lot, insert a good Cun

Use 1.5 Cun needles. Moxibustion is the better option. Also electro-stimulation.

In the first 24 hours the pain may increase.
