You’ve tried it all—stretches, ice, even special shoes. But plantar fasciitis still greets you every morning with that familiar heel pain. What if there’s another option? At Newport Wellness Group in Newport Beach, CA, Dr. Shohre Mehvar, OMD, LAc, and Dr. Shabnam Pourhassani, DACM, LAc, QME, FABORM, use acupuncture to target the pain at its source. By stimulating points that connect to pain relief and circulation, they’re here to help you break free from the daily ache. Ever thought relief could be this close?

How Does Acupuncture Work for Foot Pain?

It’s not magic—it’s science. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s natural healing responses. For plantar fasciitis, this means targeting points that reduce inflammation, release tension in the foot’s fascia, and increase blood flow. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani’s techniques get to the heart of the problem. The result? Less pain, faster healing, and a foot that feels like, well, your foot again. Why settle for pain when there’s a solution?

Will I Feel Relief Right Away?

Relief doesn’t always happen overnight, but most patients notice a difference within a few sessions. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani design each treatment plan around you. They target the exact points that help your body respond faster and more effectively. Consistency is key here. Regular sessions allow the body to heal gradually, building up relief that lasts. Imagine waking up one day and feeling…nothing. No pain. No stiffness. Just ease. Wouldn’t that be something?

What’s Involved in a Session for Plantar Fasciitis?

It’s more than just lying down and waiting. Each session starts with a discussion—what’s bothering you, where it hurts, what’s helped (or hasn’t). Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani then use this information to target pain points unique to your experience. They’ll place needles in areas that help release tension, promote blood flow, and reduce inflammation in the plantar fascia. You’re not just receiving treatment; you’re part of the process every step of the way.

Can Acupuncture Prevent the Pain from Coming Back?

Yes, acupuncture can play a role in preventing future pain. By addressing underlying issues—like tension, poor circulation, or chronic inflammation—acupuncture strengthens the body’s ability to resist recurring issues. Think of it as preventive maintenance for your feet. Regular acupuncture sessions help reinforce this balance, making it easier to stay pain-free. Why just treat symptoms when you can work toward lasting relief?

Are There Other Benefits to Acupuncture for Plantar Fasciitis?

Absolutely. Beyond reducing foot pain, acupuncture can improve overall well-being. Increased circulation? Check. Reduced stress? Yes. A calmer nervous system? Definitely. Dr. Mehvar and Dr. Pourhassani’s approach doesn’t just treat the foot—it treats the person. So, while your foot feels better, you might just find that your whole body feels more balanced.
