Plantar Fasciitis Treatment using Shockwave Therapy.
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that affects many people, causing pain and discomfort in the heel and bottom of the foot.
When it comes to plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy has been shown to be highly effective in reducing pain and improving mobility.
Why Shockwave could be the answer for your Plantar Fasciitis treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can cause significant pain and can even lead to permanent damage. Fortunately, shockwave therapy is a highly effective treatment for plantar fasciitis, providing relief from pain and helping to promote healing.
A recent study found that shockwave therapy was more effective in treating plantar fasciitis than traditional treatments such as stretching and exercise.
In fact, up to 80% of patients who undergo shockwave therapy experience significant improvement in their symptoms, with many reporting complete resolution of their pain.
One of the main benefits of shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis is that it is a non-invasive treatment, meaning that there is no need for surgery or other invasive procedures. This makes it a safe and effective treatment option for patients who may not be candidates for more invasive treatments.
Another benefit is that it is a relatively quick treatment, with each session typically lasting only 10-15 minutes. Most patients require between 3-6 treatments to achieve optimal results, with treatments typically spaced out over a period of several weeks.
Overall, if you are suffering from plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy may be an effective treatment option for you. Contact us today at our clinic in Essex to schedule an appointment and learn more about how shockwave therapy can help you find relief from your pain and discomfort.
