Shockwave Your Heel Pain Away: How Shockwave Therapy Can Relieve Heel Pain

What Is Shockwave Therapy for Heel Pain?

Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or ESWT) uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing, increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue. This encourages natural tissue regeneration, making it an evidence-based treatment for plantar fasciitis and other chronic foot conditions.

Does Shockwave Therapy Really Work?

A research paper titled “Shockwave therapy for patients with plantar fasciitis: a one-year follow-up study” investigated the effect of shockwave therapy on 79 patients (85 heels) with plantar fasciitis over a one-year period. The study reported that 75.3% of patients were complaint-free, 18.8% experienced significant improvement, and 5.9% had slight improvement, indicating a high effectiveness of shockwave therapy for treating plantar fasciitis.

Who Can Benefit from Shockwave Therapy?

✔️ Plantar fasciitis sufferers with long-term heel pain
