I appreciate the clear contraindications list; it helps patients know when to hold off on the procedure.

In reply to Linda Carter. This is actually on-topic for the post — Agnikarma for Vatakantaka (plantar fasciitis) was my last resort after 14 months of trying everything else. Three sessions over three weeks brought my morning pain from about an 8 to a 3 out of 10. Still ongoing but the change was noticeable within days of the first session.
