Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non invasive form of treatment that can be used to treat a wide variety of painful conditions.
ESWT works by delivering high energy soundwaves into the tissue through the skin via a hand held probe.
Research has shown that these shockwaves delivered into injured tissue can provide pain relief as well as stimulating increased blood flow and stem cell activity which can encourage a healing response in many tissues
