Have you been to a foot doctor?
Get a good Physical Therapist, preferably one who does Trigger Point Dry Needling. This alleviates the pain immediately while he or she can start working on helping your tendonitis heal.
voodoo-witch doctor ‘medicine’.
Mr. GG2 went to the acupuncturist about a year ago for his back and the guy basically cured him and then put some needles in his banged up wrist and it was painfree for months. I don’t know about tendenitus.
My wife had a knee replacement. Acupuncture was miraculous in the way it helped her pain. Watching her walk after the operation and an acupuncture treatment left me agape. There is no hyperbole in that statement.
No needles for me. However, I have liked Instaflex a LOT - check it out on Amazon. I don’t have tendonitis, but have had hip joint pain due, I think, to a flu shot.
Acupuncture helps to MASK pain. The effectiveness varies from person to person. However, keep in mind that it is not a treatment for the underlying cause of pain.
Have you checked out food grade diatomaceous earth. It is wonderful for several ailments. Did a quick search and tendonitis was one of them. I take it and so do my siblings. Sprinkle a little on my dog and cats’ food.
Do the research. Quite a remarkable product. Also virgin coconut oil and silver biotics. All three of these items should be in everyone’s emergency kit.
Acupuncture has been very effective in releaving acute neck pain caused by injury years ago in close relative. Key is finding a good acupuncturist and going a couple of times a week at least for up to 15 to 20 visits.
I cured acute foot pain caused by Plantar Faciatist with Curcumin/Tumeric. There was very quick results with this product. Here is a link with info and product. http://curcumin-turmeric.com/
The product I used was the Extra Strength CuraMed from Terry’s Naturally: http://www.terrynaturallyvitamins.com/products/curamed-750-mg/
This product works, I could barely walk before I started on it.
I wore magnets for a year and it has not returned.
Look up prolotherapy. The idea is to strengthen the tendon via an an injection of proliferant agents that provoke an immune response which then leads to tissue regeneration.
My wife started acupuncture 3 weeks ago. First session was $100, had a little effect. Next two were $90 and she says they really helped. She has a bad back, every night I would put 4 pain patches on her back. For the last two weeks she did not need any.
The Dr came here from China in 1990, has a medical degree, and said that acupuncture is required for their medical degree.
..then tear or the tape

The generic tapes are not very good... ACE is okay, Franklin, Futuro, and Mueller are great
I tried acupuncture for chronic neck pain and muscle spasms. After each session I experienced about 20-30 minutes of relief, then problems begin to recur. After $750 in fees and no noticeable cumulative effect, I gave it up. On the other hand, I tried prolotherapy for tennis elbow with excellent results. There is a big debate if this therapy works. It worked on my elbow but not my neck. I’ve also tried platelet rich therapy for my neck as well . While some of these therapies worked on some parts of my body, I never got the desired relief from neck pain and live on a constant cocktail of drugs and occasional epidurals. There is no one cure for everyone. My advice is to see a good doctor who specializes in pain management. Best of luck to you.
I’ve used acupuncture 4 times over the last 40 years and it has worked every time. Tennis elbow, back problems, ankle problems and shoulder problems. These were problems that I had sought solution from my medical doctors and they failed to cure any of them. I highly recommend it.
