Therapie des schmerzhaften Fußes mit ärztlicher Akupunktur

The treatment of painful foot deformities is challenging, especially if dysaesthesia is combined with functional loss and pain.

In foot pain, the segments L4, L5 and S1 have to be considered locally, and the combining segments on the upper extremity C6 to C8 can also be used as further treatment areas of acupuncture due to segmental connections.

Segmental- and neurophysiological-based treatment with medical acupuncture is a further worthy component of conservative medical therapy in painful foot deformities.
