I'm a little unclear what's being asked. Are you wanting to know whether acupuncture points on the feet can be used to treat health issues? Do you have a foot issue and you're wanting to know whether or not acupuncture might help relieve that problem?

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are built around a systems theory model of a living organism, not a reductionistic one. Just because the problem happens to be in the foot, it doesn't necessarily follow that the treatment will involve acupuncture on the feet or in the affected area. I most often treat foot issues with needles elsewhere on the body, and I've got a pretty good success rate with that approach.

Conversely, if the problem was something like acid reflux, neck pain, or frontal headache, I'd probably use points on the feet rather than points on the abdomen, head, or neck. Again, in my experience, this tends to work fairly well.
