Plantar Fasciitis: Is it Coming from a Scar?

Should you come down with the painful condition called plantar fasciitis, get to a podiatrist. Don't mess with Foot Solutions -- chances are you're going to need to tape your foot and get properly fitted arch supports.

But what you may not know and chances of your doctor considering an old scar to be the culprit is unlikely. A case in point: a woman who had a scar on her buttock from an old operation was preventing the foot from healing. Procaine was injected into the scar and the woman saw immediate relief. A doctor trained in procaine injections can help but so can an acupuncturist -- there are special needles that hold procaine that can open the scar.

When we have a scar, even from a mole removal, it can cause a short circuit in the energy pathways. In my practice I use procaine but I also use special magnetic clay.
A scar can block regulation of the autonomic nervous system preventing us from achieving the healing we so desire. When people tell me they want to get plastic surgery, I tell them to think twice. Sometimes it's better to age gracefully than go through life with a bushel of problems that we don't really need.
