What is plantar fasciitis shockwave therapy and how does it work?

Plantar fasciitis shockwave therapy is a non‑surgical treatment used to reduce chronic heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia. The therapy uses focused acoustic sound waves that are delivered directly to the affected tissue. These waves stimulate circulation, encourage tissue repair and trigger the body’s natural healing response. For many patients with persistent plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy can help reduce pain and improve mobility when other treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
