There is no evidence suggesting the effectiveness of acupuncture in managing heel spur symptoms like pain. However, there is overwhelming proof that acupuncture can help treat conditions like plantar fasciitis and bursitis. Instead of acupuncture, you can use rest, ice, NSAIDs, exercises, and physical therapy.
