Calcaneus spur is a commonly encountered disease in clinic and is a difficult disease to cure. The authors treated 42 cases by acupotomy and moxibustion
compared with 28 cases only treated by acupotomy
and found that the effect treated by acupotomy and moxibustion is better than that only treated by acupotomy
and the former course of treatment was shorter. The report also showed an inverse relationship between the therapeutical effect and the course of disease
the course of disease was longer
the effect treated by acupotony and moxibustion was better than that treated only by acupotomy.
