of ultrasound-guided bee venom pharmacopuncture as a treatment of it.

were fascial thickening, blurring of perifascial border and perifascial effusion. The ultrasound-guided bee venom
pharmacopuncture for 6 times and conventional Korean medicine therapies like acupuncture and moxibustion for 12
times in 5 weeks. Numeric rating scale (NRS) and foot function index(FFI) was used to evaluate the pain and its
progress. and thickness of plantar fascia was measured by sonography every week.
Results: After treatments, NRS and FFI were reduced from 10 to 1 and from 190 to 72. The thickness of fascia was
reduced from 0.43cm to 0.40. Blurring and effusion of perifascial border were also improved.
Conclusion: This report suggests that the Ultrasound-guided Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture is effective for Plantar
Fasciitis. Ultrasonography could be one of the most valuable items in the clinical practice of Korean medicine doctors
