根据足跟痛的分类用小针刀进行治疗，以提高治疗效果。
2005年8月至2008年12月，按照作者的分类标准对200例（266足跟）足跟痛患者进行治疗。其中男性83例，女性117例，年龄26～72岁，平均46岁；病程3～36个月，平均6.8个月。按分类：跖筋膜炎型67足跟，跟腱滑囊炎型61足跟，足底脂肪垫炎型36足跟，跟骨高压型6足跟，神经卡压型21足跟，混合型75足跟。所有患者根据分类采用不同方法行小针刀治疗。
治疗1个月后，跖筋膜炎型患者中，优31足跟，良36足跟；跟腱滑囊炎型患者中，优32足跟，良29足跟；足底脂肪垫炎型患者中，优9足跟，良20足跟，差4足跟，劣3足跟；跟骨高压型患者中，优1足跟，良3足跟，差2足跟；神经卡压型患者中，优11足跟，良8足跟，差1足跟，劣1足跟；混合型患者中，优16足跟，良46足跟，差5足跟，劣8足跟。治疗6个月后，跖筋膜炎型患者中，优21足跟，良40足跟，差5足跟，劣1足跟；跟腱滑囊炎型患者中，优30足跟，良28足跟，差3足跟；足底脂肪垫炎型患者中，优15足跟，良18足跟，差2足跟，劣1足跟；跟骨高压型患者中，优0足跟，良3足跟，差3足跟；神经卡压型患者中，优7足跟，良11足跟，差1足跟，劣2足跟；混合型患者中，优10足跟，良45足跟，差11足跟，劣9足跟。
足跟痛的病因不能用单一的发病机制来解释，也不能用一种方法治疗。足跟痛患者应根据足跟痛的分类采用不同方法治疗，从而提高治疗效果。
