Freebie At-Home Tips for Managing Back Pain
(professional treatment is essential) and there are also research-backed strategies you can use at home:
1 Stay hydrated – New studies show that proper hydration supports spinal disc health and reduces stiffness. Water Recommendations: ½ body weight in oz per day and 15 oz for every 30 min of activity!
2 Keep moving – Gentle movement and walking help prevent stiffness. Avoid long periods of bed rest.
3 Skip the ice – Recent rese arch suggests icing can slow down healing. Heat and gentle mobility are often better for recovery.
4 Consider anti-inflammatories – Natural anti-inflammatory foods (like turmeric and omega-3s) or supplements can support recovery. My personal favorite is Zyflamend- which can be purchased online here. Talk with your healthcare provider before starting anything new.
5 Topicals- Wu-Yang Medicated Plasters- but read the instructions and do not use if you have a latex allergy.
6 Skip the Alcohol, Coffee and Sugar- I hate to be the bearer of bad news- but they cause inflammation- so at very least reduce.

Plantar Fasciitis or Something Else? Understanding Heel & Foot Pain 🦶🏼

Are you struggling with heel pain when you first get out of bed or after standing for long periods? Many people assume it’s plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of foot pain. But here’s the truth: not all heel or arch pain is plantar fasciitis. 👣

Different conditions in the lower leg and foot can feel almost identical to plantar fasciitis—yet they have very different causes. And that means they need different treatment approaches for real, lasting relief.

Common Foot Pain Conditions That Mimic Plantar Fasciitis
If your heel or arch pain hasn’t improved with traditional plantar fasciitis treatments like stretching, orthotics, or night splints, you may actually have another condition, such as:

Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction

Calf Muscle Trigger Points

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Heel Spurs or Stress Fractures

Because these conditions all share similar heel pain symptoms, getting the right diagnosis is key to choosing the best relief!

When it comes to effective plantar fasciitis treatment and other foot pain conditions, orthopedic acupuncture and trigger point needling offer one of the fastest and most precise solutions.✨

Yesterday I experienced the truly transformative power of orthopedic acupuncture—an integrative therapy that blends traditional Chinese medicine with modern orthopedic and neuro-anatomical techniques to heal injuries, release muscle tension, and restore function.

Yesterday before treatment, I was struggling with jaw and neck pain, and even noticed that my face looked crooked. That all changed after my session, and I’m already feeling more aligned and at ease. 🙏

Orthopedic acupuncture isn’t just for elite athletes—it’s for anyone dealing with pain, muscular dysfunction, sports injuries, nerve-related issues, TMJ or dental facial pain, and more. Conditions like sprains, headaches, muscle spasms, TMJ, neck pain, and even complex regional pain syndrome can all benefit from this holistic and potent therapeutic method.

If you’ve been battling stubborn pain or dysfunction, know that healing can look like acupuncture that addresses structure, function, and energy—gently, skillfully, and with real impact. Heaven & Earth’s approach includes everything from dry needling and myofascial trigger-point needling to electro-acupuncture, massage, cupping, herbal medicine, and exercise therapy—all tailored to your body’s needs.

Frozen shoulder (aka adhesive capsulitis) can make even simple movements feel impossible — brushing your hair, reaching for the top shelf, or getting dressed becomes a daily challenge.

✨ Orthopedic acupuncture is a powerful, holistic approach to restore mobility and reduce pain. Here’s how it helps:

-Targets muscle imbalances and joint restrictions
- Reduces inflammation and promotes circulation
- Stimulates healing of tendons, ligaments & fascia
- Improves range of motion without invasive procedures

Paired with appropriate physical therapy our patients experience significant relief in just a few sessions, and long-term improvement with a consistent plan.

Let’s get that shoulder moving again — gently, naturally, and effectively. 💪

An integrative approach to treating anxiety and depression combines the best of conventional medicine with holistic therapies, offering a comprehensive path to healing. Acupuncture, a key modality in this approach, provides profound somatic benefits by regulating the nervous system, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. Functional medicine further enhances treatment by identifying root causes—such as hormonal imbalances, gut health, and nutrient deficiencies—ensuring a personalized and sustainable solution. By addressing both physiological and emotional aspects, this approach empowers individuals to achieve long-term mental wellness. The synergy of acupuncture and functional medicine creates a powerful, science-backed strategy for restoring balance and resilience.

We take several steps to ensure that acupuncture needle insertion is as comfortable as possible. By providing the brain with additional stimuli, such as gentle touch or tapping, we help reduce the perception of needle sensation. We also prepare the skin, fascia, and muscles with warmth and massage, promoting relaxation and ease of insertion. Using a guide tube allows for quick and precise placement, further minimizing any discomfort. Of course, our advanced anatomical knowledge ensures that each needle is inserted with skill and care, optimizing both comfort and effectiveness. 💝

We take great pride in the results that our patients experience- but we believe that we get there by being attuned to each and every patient.

Heaven and Earth practices trauma-informed care during acupuncture sessions by creating an environment where patients feel respected, heard and informed. Practitioners communicate diagnosis and treatment options to ensure informed consent, so that patients remain in control of their treatment experience. We recognize the impact of past trauma and present stressors and adapt techniques to accommodate individual needs, such as offering somatic exercises or modifying needle placement. Sessions prioritize emotional and physical safety, allowing patients to express concerns and set personal boundaries. By fostering trust and empowerment, we also get better outcomes.
