Calcaneo Navicular

[bleejuoriycittecw]

Hi Folks,
I have had an x-ray and told 2 bones in my foot are fused (Tarsal coalition, Calcaneo Navicular) and only an operation will give me range of movement back.

I lost total range of movement in my foot 15 years ago, up and down and side to side, there was no pain.
Last year I started yoga and through the simple act of kneeling back onto my feet I was able to get movement in my foot after 3 months, up and down only, still no side to side. But alas, with this movement came some pain when running, not sore to walk.

I went to acupuncture the other day for a different issue and the girl put some neddles in my foot and leg after she noticed a lump at my ankle and I swear I can move the foot side to side a little more than usual.

Has anyone ever heard of acupuncture treatment for this condition that has been successful? I am not into the surgery idea!

Hi Has,

I never cease to be amazed at what acupuncture can help with. I'd say it was a very positive sign that your foot may respond well to if you noticed positive effect after just one treatment.

If you have the time and money to invest in treatment I'd definitely give it a try. You can always monitor changes along the way and decide if you feel you are benefiting.

Best of luck!
