bone spur
Submitted by ygold77 on Fri, 2008-10-17 23:23.
I have a patient that is coming for bone spur in the heel area and golfers elbow.
I cann't find much useful information as treatment.
should I surround the bone spur and try electrostem?
Would treatment for golfers elbow will be similar to tennis elbow?

Hi. Why is that you can not find much useful information? Have you asked enough?
As I see it, The heel is on the Bladder meridian more or less, The elbow on the Small Intestine meridian. Can it be a connection with Du Mai. Can you see other symptoms, like stiff back.
I also read somewhere yesterday that heel problems can be of Liver deficiency, can you see any other signs related to the Liver?
Just some other thoughts I have had befor, which is realted in different dividin of the body in 6 Yao's. One is from feet to head, with 1st at the feet. another is from the pelvis to the head with 1st at pelvis, there is also on the feet with 1st at the heel. Using this, you can use the feet to correspond to other yaos on the body, From this I would ask around problems around the pelvis. Like prostate problems in men, uterus problems in women. This would also imply Liver problems, specially in women since Liver is a lot involved in gynechological problems.
Just some thoughts

Yes golfers elbow and tennis
Yes golfers elbow and tennis elbow are generally very similar treatments with the only modifications being the use of "ashi" or "ouch" points changing based on the patient. For tendonitis in the elbow we use generally use the huatuo of T1, ST 12, SI 16, TH 5, LI 4, and then add needles for the areas of discomfort ("ashi") and, perhaps, for the overall constitutional pattern. For the bone spur, I've answered that in your other post.
