Foot Pain
Foot pain can be incredibly frustrating—whether it’s due to plantar fasciitis, inflammation, injury, or nerve-related discomfort, it often interferes with your ability to walk, exercise, or simply get through the day. At Healing with Zen, we’ve had the privilege of helping many patients find relief through holistic and effective treatments like acupuncture.
In this blog post, we’re sharing real testimonials from patients who turned to acupuncture to address their persistent foot pain. From reduced inflammation to restored mobility and improved overall well-being, these stories highlight the transformative power of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you’ve been struggling with foot discomfort and are curious about how acupuncture might help, we invite you to read on and hear directly from those who’ve experienced the benefits firsthand.
After suffering from an ankle sprain for over 8 months, I went in to give acupuncture a try. Zen was very gentle and explained everything she was doing. She was so knowledgeable about everything and taught me how important it was to keep a balance within my body. It was a very relaxing experience and I learned a lot. I hardly write reviews, but I was so inspired to write one because within a few weeks my ankle felt better and now I’m recommending her to all my friends. I plan on going to her regularly.- Judy P. – 4/9/2014
I started receiving acupuncture from Katherine at “Healing with Zen” at the beginning of this year, initially because of ankle pain. I had first-hand experience in the healing power of acupuncture in years past while living in another state, so naturally felt it could help me once again. Doing a bit of research on Yelp I quickly found that this office comes highly recommended by other reviewers, so I gave them a call and made that first appointment. The office space is peaceful and welcoming. I’m always greeted with a genuine smile and kind words from Lexine when I walk through the door. Katherine is very knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and professional… and gentle with those acupuncture needles. She truly cares about your health and healing. Within a few short weeks of working with Katherine I no longer felt the pain whenever I walked. With that main concern healed and a few other things addressed, I now continue to keep up monthly acupuncture sessions in order to assist with balance in my body, mind and spirit. If you’re looking for an acupuncturist in the Pasadena area I can highly recommend Katherine (and Zen, too) at “Healing with Zen”. – Betsy C. – 6/30/2017
I broke a bone in my lower leg and messed up the ligaments in my foot as the results of a fall. I saw Zen for a few sessions, and she helped restore my overall functioning quite a bit in a few sessions plus some herbal formulas. The orthopedist was great but really gave me very little help other than physical therapy, so Zen’s support increased the depth and rate of healing quite a bit. She and her office staff were always completely professional and friendly. I’m glad I went and would recommend Zen’s services without hesitation. – Holland F. – 12/1/2024

My experience in having acupuncture with Zen has been amazing… After having a bad experience with acupuncture with someone else, I never wanted to try acupuncture again!
Being that I’m not a found of oral medications and hearing all the positive results people were having with Zen, I decided to give it one more try. Zen made me feel so comfortable and was constantly asking about my comfort level with the needles she was placing on my body. The results have been amazing; my sleeping disorder has changed drastically since my first session. Zen is currently treating me for Achilles Tendonitis of my both feet; and man – let me tell you, if you know what Achilles Tendonitis is, you know the unbearable pain I’m talking about. After my 2nd session I started noticing the difference, and I can’t thank Zen enough for helping me with this chronic pain and swelling. Not to mention weight control and other minor issues she recently started treating…. Did I mention, how relaxing and restful you will feel after acupuncture? Trust me, you will thank yourself for giving it a try & then you will thank Zen for the amazing treatment and care she puts into each of her clients…. Thank you Zen. – KL – 9/22/2015
