Are you dealing with pain? Maybe you have conditions like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or other joint and back issues? I've had success treating various pain problems using acupuncture and herbal remedies.

Let's talk about some herbal formulas designed to address different joint and back ailments. There are formulas for gout, neuropathy, muscle injuries, spasms, and more. One formula tackles cold-type arthritis and fibromyalgia, while another deals with heat-related joint problems like swelling and inflammation. Sometimes, I combine formulas for complex issues like bone spurs and plantar fasciitis to ensure complete relief.

Looking at pain, if it's from an injury, it's expected. But what about pain without an obvious cause? Using acupuncture theory, I trace pain along meridians to organs. For instance, heel pain might signal issues with the gallbladder, while medial knee pain could relate to the liver or kidneys.

Pain can be a sign that something's off internally. Ever thought of cleaning your body like you clean a car engine? I've found that internal cleansing with herbal formulas can alleviate various pains. Personally, they've helped me with headaches, neck and shoulder pain, sciatic pain and more recently heel pain.  

I'll give you an example, Sally S, name changed for privacy, complained of heel pain. She was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and bone spurs and had been going to physical therapy, on and off, for over a year, she had a couple steroid injections and was wearing a boot for pain relief, but had not gotten any relief from the pain. 

I had her take two herbal formulas.  She started with the formula for the plantar fasciitis and got pain relief within a few weeks. After two bottles, she switched to a bone spur formula and continued to get more relief.  Sally is now walking about five miles a day using information from her fitbit and doing aerobics classes at the gym.  I am as happy as she is, because I began feeling heel pain for the first time in my life, and because of her response to these formulas, I took the formula for bone spurs first and that did the trick. I am now pain free and happy to have this knowledge for myself and others. 

I'm Theresa Gilmore, an acupuncture physician in Miami-Dade County. I offer a range of treatments, from acupuncture and herbal medicine to massage and nutritional counseling. I discovered these healing methods while searching for solutions for my sick pet in 1993, and I've been grateful ever since. If you're dealing with pain and haven't had any injuries, maybe it's time to consider this approach.
