Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot is irritated and inflamed. The plantar fascia is a thin ligament located beneath the skin on the bottom of your foot, which is the ligament that connects the heel to the front of your foot. This area also supports the arch of your foot.
Pain from plantar fasciitis tends to develop gradually over time and can be dull or sharp. People with the condition often report that the problem is worse in the morning or when they have been sitting or lying down for an extended period. Pain is usually not felt during physical activities, but rather after stopping.
Shockwave Therapy produces a strong cellular response. The shockwaves put out by this therapy essentially initiate a biologic healing response. It provides a rapid reduction in pain and inflammation and mobility restoration without the need for painful surgery, painkillers, or other medication.
