Clinical Experience of WEI Pinkang in Treating Heel Pain Caused by Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common surgical disease of the foot and ankle. It is common and frequent in clinical practice,seriously affecting the physical and mental health and quality of life of patients. At present,there is a lack of effective,low-cost,simple and less-complication preparations and intervention programs. WEI Pinkang is a profes-sor and chief physician of the Naval Medical University,the first batch of doctoral supervisors in the national master-apprentice system,a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Shanghai,and a specially-appointed consultation expert of the Central Military Commission Health Care Committee. He has profound attainments in the treatment of pain with traditional Chinese medicine. Professor WEI's experience in treating heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis believes that holistic treatment is the basis. If the liver is not nourished,there will be pain. Treatment should focus on the liver first,taking into account the spleen and kidney;local treatment is supplementary. If the liver is not unblocked,there will be pain. Treatment should focus on phlegm and blood stasis first,taking into account wind,cold and dampness. Combine the whole and the local,treat both internal and external,and use both tonic and attack.
