Yes. Shockwave therapy is extremely successful in treating plantar fasciitis, sometimes referred to as heel spurs. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the ligament that connects your heel and your toes. This strain happens over time due to things such as improper footwear, repetitive impact, or excessive pronation.
In combination with shockwave therapy, your physiotherapist may recommend other effective treatments to work hand-in-hand to assist in recovery and to help prevent future injuries. Custom orthotics and intramuscular stimulation (IMS) are two common treatments we provide for treating plantar fasciitis.
