Question
My child, around 5 years old, has been complaining of leg pain recently, for no apparent reason. I want to know how to treat calcaneal bursitis?
Answer
Wearing high heels for long periods or prolonged standing can cause changes in the foot’s pressure distribution, leading to calcaneal bursitis. Symptoms include swelling and pain, which can be severe enough to affect walking and even lead to bone spurs. It is recommended to avoid wearing high heels and consider using mugwort and safflower boiled water for foot baths, in conjunction with acupuncture or small needle knife therapy.
