You can needle around them with a small gauge and short-length needles to reduce inflammation but care must be taken not to directly needle into them.  It takes a long time to make a difference on appearance but if they are painful it can have an effect on pain reduction.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Can we needle around it? My mom has been dealing with pain on the dorsum of her foot around the talocalcaneal ligament/inferior extensor retinaculum.  It started off as achilles tendonitis but that has cleared up mostly.  Sudden onset not cause by any trauma.  She fractured her 4th toe 7 years ago.  I know in the foundations course we were taught to avoid needling varicose veins.   Does that mean avoiding dry needling the leg all together or can  I dry needle around the varicose veins?]]></content:encoded>
