I injured my heel many years ago when I was running marathons. I tried everything and the only procedure that gave me any lasting relief was acupuncture. I would give it a shot (pun intended!) before resorting to something as drastic as surgery.

Occasionally my heel will become inflamed after playing tennis and I will go for a few treatments and it clears right up.

Good luck,
