Paresthesia /burning/ of the heel

Paresthesia of the heel: is an unusual sensation in the heel, described as burning, “prickling”, “tickling” or “creeping sensation”. These sensations in medicine are indicated as paresthesia. The paresthesia of the heel can be due to any of the following diseases and conditions: Diseases of the endocrine system, food and metabolic disorders – amyloidosis, hypolactasia, hypoparathyroidism, vitamin В12 deficiency, Fabry disease, porphyria. Traumas,poisonings and some other consequences of the affect of external factors – bone fracture, lead poisoning, food poisoning. Diseases of the organs of circulation – Buerger disease, peripheral vascular disease, apoplexy. Diseases of the nervous system – diabetic neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, neuritis, nerve compression, chronic inflammatory demielinising polyneuropathy, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, multiple sclerosis. Diseases of the bone-muscular system, and of the connecting tissue – systemic sclerosis, disc hernia, Sjögren syndrome, nodose polyarthritis. Diseases of the urogenital system – renal failure. Blood diseases, of the blood producing organs and individual disorders, including the immune mechanism – sarcoidosis. Infectious and parasitic diseases – syphilis, leprosy. Symptoms, signs and deviations from the norm – tetany.

There are numerous bioactive points on the human heel.

Apart from the experience of Eastern nations, science has long discovered that on the surface of the human heel there are a number of points, which are connected to out internal organs and the vital centers of the human organism. When we get sick, the biological activity in these points is increased depending on the degree of damaging in the particular organ. After the disease goes away, this activity is normalised. These features of our heels show its role in the tempering and explain the significance of massage and the different procedures, which, although they are being applied to the foot, they can affect the entire human body.
