Plantar Fasciitis Treatment with Shockwave Therapy

 

River Forest Health and Wellness | Serving Oak Park, River Forest IL, and Surrounding Areas

 

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, affecting the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot. This condition can make every step painful, especially in the morning or after prolonged activity. At River Forest Health and Wellness, we specialize in treating plantar fasciitis using Shockwave Therapy, an advanced and highly effective treatment to help alleviate pain and promote long-term healing.

 

What is Shockwave Therapy?

 

Shockwave Therapy, or Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to target injured tissue of the plantar Fascia. The energy from the waves stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, improving blood flow and breaking down scar tissue, adhesions, and calcifications in the plantar fascia.

 

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis:

 

• Pain Relief: Many patients report significant pain reduction in the plantar after just a few sessions.

• Non-Invasive: Shockwave Therapy doesn’t require surgery or injections, making it a safe option with minimal downtime for plantar fascia treatment.

• Speeds Healing: The therapy stimulates cellular repair, promoting faster recovery by enhancing circulation and tissue regeneration.

• Long-Term Results: Patients often experience long-lasting relief from plantar fasciitis, helping them return to normal activities without recurrent pain.
