Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis in Frederick
Relief for Every Step You Take
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis can make walking, standing, or even getting out of bed in the morning a painful challenge. Often caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament, this condition can affect athletes, active individuals, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet. At Acupuncture Medical Clinic of Maryland in Frederick, our licensed acupuncturist provides safe, drug-free solutions designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore comfort to your daily life.
How Acupuncture Helps Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Acupuncture stimulates specific points that improve blood flow, relax tight muscles, and reduce inflammation in the heel and arch of the foot. By calming irritation and encouraging natural healing, acupuncture can reduce both sharp morning pain and ongoing discomfort.
For stubborn cases, we may recommend advanced therapies such as Electro-Acupuncture, ATP Resonance BioTherapy®, or O3 ReBoot Therapy® in combination with traditional acupuncture to accelerate recovery and support long-term results.

Jessica was kind and compassionate from the start. We went over all my health issues and discussed what I wanted to fix. She explained many other helpful things to do in addition to the acupuncture. She helped me with getting the information on my insurance coverage.
At my very first appointment she explained what her plans to treat me were and asked me to let her know as we were doing the acupuncture how I was doing.
She called me the following day to see how I was and if I had any questions.
Jessica is so knowledgeable and shares the information in an easy to understand way.
Her staff is just as kind and helpful.
They care about each patient and are sincere in treating you.

This testimonial is a “thank you,” to Dr. Jessica Miksa, who through acupuncture and other healing modalities has changed my life for the better in so many ways. She started me on my healing journey years ago and I am proud to say I no longer take any prescription medication, I am healthy, vital, and free of all substances including alcohol. Highly recommend!
