Abstract

Objectives : The object of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment and to urge in-depth research on plantar fasciitis. Methods : Four patients, diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, were treated by Korean medicine interventions; acupuncture at K13, BL60, BL40, indirect moxibustion at local region, oral intake herbal medicine and Korean physical therapy on plantar fascia. Visual analog scale(VAS) was adpoted as a method of measuring the effect of treatment on plantar pain. Results : As a result, the plantar pain decreased and VAS score was declined at three cases. However, at one case, the symptom was not changed and VAS score was same. Conclusions : Korean rehabilitative complex therapy can be effectively used for plantar fasciitis. Further studies are needed to set up a rehabilitation protocol with Korean medicine interventions on this disease.
