If you're noticing any of the following plantar fasciitis symptoms, it’s time to get checked out:

  • A stabbing or burning sensation in the bottom of your heel

  • Heel pain that’s worst in the morning or after sitting for long periods

  • Pain after walking, standing, or exercising

  • Tightness in the arch or bottom of the foot

  • Swelling or tenderness around the heel

Shockwave therapy (SWT) can be effective for treating pain, improving mobility, and promoting healing. It's a non-invasive treatment that's FDA-approved for a variety of conditions. 

How it works

  • SWT uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process. 

  • The sound waves increase blood supply, cell proliferation, stimulate stem cell growth and tissue regeneration. 

  • SWT can also reduce spasticity in patients with neurological disorders. Causing degradation of the nerve bundle (nociception inhibition), which allows for pain modulation via the peripheral nervous system.

  • SWT works by upgrading the physiologic process of healing by stimulating hormones and cells that are associated with a reparative process of healing.

What conditions it treats 

  • Musculoskeletal disorders: SWT can treat pain and promote healing in bones, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

  • Neurological disorders: SWT can reduce spasticity.

  • Stress fractures: SWT can treat stress fractures and bone spures.

  • Cellulite: SWT can treat cellulite.

How successful it is ?

  • Clinical studies show that SWT is effective and safe, with success rates ranging from 60% to 91%. 

  • Patients often see immediate results or within a few weeks, and results may improve over time.
