Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis: Effective Relief with Physiotherapy

  Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, affecting many individuals due to factors like overuse, improper footwear, or prolonged standing. Shockwave therapy has emerged as a powerful, non-invasive treatment option for this condition, offering significant relief when combined with physiotherapy. What is Shockwave Therapy?

By sending high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, shockwave therapy encourages blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the body’s natural healing process. This is particularly effective for individuals with chronic plantar fasciitis, where other treatments may have fallen short. How Does Shockwave Therapy Work for Plantar Fasciitis?
