Application of Acupoint Massage Combined with Moxibustion Therapy in a Patient with Heel Pain Based on the "Treating Lower Disease by Upper Therapy" Principle
This study presents the nursing experience of applying acupoint massage combined with moxibustion therapy for a patient with heel pain, guided by the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principle of "treating lower disease by upper therapy." Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), supplemented by routine nursing interventions including lifestyle and dietary guidance. After two weeks of treatment, the patient showed significant improvement in heel pain and anxiety symptoms. This TCM nursing approach demonstrates advantages such as operational simplicity, safety, notable efficacy, and high patient acceptability.
