According to this randomized clinical trial by Eftekharsadat et al.:⠀⠀⠀
"Heel pain due to plantar fasciitis is characterized by pain and tenderness centered under the medial tubercle of the calcaneus on weight-bearing surface, specifically immediately after rest such as getting out of bed in the morning"⠀⠀
"It is one of the most common foot disorders encountered by foot and ankle specialists that affects about 10% of people in their life, and it is responsible for approximately one million physician visits annually"⠀⠀
⠀
Conclusion: ..."Trigger point dry needling, by improving the severity of heel pain, can be used as a good alternative option before proceeding to more invasive therapies of plantar fasciitis."⠀⠀⠀
