Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially after a long day on your feet. This condition occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) at the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed, causing sharp, stabbing pain in the heel. While rest and stretching can help, acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and cupping therapy offer effective, long-lasting relief.
* Pain Relief: Acupuncture targets specific points to release tension and alleviate pain by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes.
* Reducing Inflammation: Acupuncture helps regulate the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, reducing inflammation and improving circulation to the affected areas.
* Balancing Energy: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, plantar fasciitis is often linked to stagnation of Qi or Blood. Acupuncture helps restore the flow of energy, speeding up healing.
Cupping Therapy for the Feet:
* Enhanced Circulation: Cupping creates suction on the skin, drawing blood to the area and increasing circulation, which helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
* Restoring Balance: In TCM, cupping works in harmony with acupuncture to restore the natural balance of energy and blood flow in the body, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of the pain.
Additional Benefits:
* Increased Mobility: Acupuncture, cupping, and herbs work together to reduce pain and improve flexibility, allowing you to move more freely without discomfort.
* Holistic Healing: Acupuncture and cupping address not just the symptoms of plantar fasciitis, but also any underlying imbalances contributing to the pain, promoting whole-body wellness.
If you’re struggling with plantar fasciitis pain, acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese Medicine offer effective, non-invasive treatments. Contact Points of Wellness today to see how we can help restore balance and comfort to your feet.

As we reach the peak of summer, the Heart is the organ most closely associated with this season in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Heart governs not just physical health but also our emotional well-being, influencing joy, vitality, and our ability to connect deeply with others.
Summer is a time to nurture your Heart Qi, and Chinese Medicine offers powerful ways to support this energy, both physically and emotionally:
* Hydration: Drink plenty of water, ideally infused with cooling herbs like mint or chrysanthemum, to keep your body and Heart Qi balanced.
* Cooling Foods: Summer fruits like watermelon and cucumbers naturally support the Heart QI by promoting fluid balance and cooling internal heat.
* Meditation and Breathwork: Gentle breathing exercises or meditation can help calm the Heart Qi, reducing stress and promoting joy.
* Acupuncture & Cupping: Focused treatments can help release heat, improve circulation, and restore the balance of your Heart Qi.
Now is the time to focus on deepening your connection with yourself and others, finding joy in small moments, and embracing the vibrant energy of summer.
Book your session at Points of Wellness today to nurture your Heart Qi and step into your best summer self.

Cupping therapy is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), known for its ability to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote overall well-being. This ancient healing technique involves placing specially designed cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect that helps draw blood to the surface, improve energy flow, and release blockages in the body.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy:
* Pain Relief: Cupping is often used to treat chronic pain, especially in areas like the back, shoulders, and neck. It can help relax tight muscles and release tension.
* Improved Circulation: The suction created by the cups helps increase blood flow to the treated area, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation.
* Detoxification: Cupping helps to move stagnant blood and lymph, supporting your body's natural detoxification process.
* Stress Reduction: By targeting specific acupoints and muscles, cupping can induce a deep sense of relaxation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
* Respiratory Health: Cupping is also commonly used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and the common cold by promoting lung function and clearing congestion.
What to Expect During a Cupping Session:
During a session, cups are placed on specific areas of the body, usually along the back, to target acupuncture points. You may feel a gentle pulling sensation, and the cups may remain in place for about 10–15 minutes. Depending on your body’s needs, cupping can leave marks on the skin (known as "cupping marks") that can last a few days, which are completely harmless and indicate the areas that were most in need of healing.
Is Cupping Right for You?
If you're experiencing chronic pain, tension, stress, or respiratory issues, cupping therapy might be just what you need. At Points of Wellness, we offer safe and effective cupping treatments tailored to your specific health needs.
Interested in trying cupping for yourself? Book your session today and experience the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

“The First Wealth is Health” – Who said this?
Spring into Balance with the Wood Element
Spring is right around the corner.

In Chinese medicine, spring is the season of growth, renewal, and the Wood element. Just like trees stretching toward the sky, our energy wants to expand, move, and awaken after winter’s stillness.

The Wood element is connected to the Liver, which thrives on smooth Qi flow. When balanced, we feel inspired, flexible, and full of vitality. When stuck, we may experience irritability, tension, or fatigue.

Support your Wood element by moving your body, eating leafy greens, and starting your day with deep breaths and gentle stretches. Embrace change, set new intentions, and flow with the energy of the season!

What’s your favorite way to welcome spring? Share below! ⬇️

In a world that feels more chaotic than ever, our minds and bodies absorb the stress, the tension, the overwhelm. But like the lotus, we have the power to rise above.
Just as the lotus draws strength from the mud, our bodies can heal from within. Acupuncture helps restore balance, release what no longer serves us, and awaken our natural vitality.
Healing isn’t about avoiding the chaos—it’s about finding peace despite it. Your body holds the wisdom to bloom, even in the most challenging times. Trust the process.
Tag someone who needs a reminder to slow down and heal.
