    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Dry needling (DN) effectively treats plantar fasciitis (PF), a common cause of heel pain. This case study shows DN combined with a home exercise program significantly reduced pain and improved function in a runner with persistent PF.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Physical Therapy
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Plantar heel pain, often due to plantar fasciitis (PF), impacts foot function.
    • Conservative treatments for PF include mobilization, stretching, orthoses, and splinting.
    • Dry needling (DN) is an emerging, effective treatment for PF, though literature on its myofascial application is limited.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old female runner with persistent right foot PF was treated with DN and a home exercise program.
    • Treatment involved 4 sessions over 3 weeks, with DN applied to 11 posterior chain locations and 2 electric stimulation channels.
    • The intervention extended beyond the local plantar fascia.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced reduced pain, measured by the Visual Analog Scale.
    • Functional improvement was noted, assessed by the Functional Ankle Disability Index.
    • Increases in range of motion were observed post-treatment.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the successful use of DN as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for plantar fasciitis.
    • Combining DN with a home exercise program can yield favorable outcomes for persistent PF.
    • Further research into DN's myofascial application in PF treatment is warranted.
