A good candidate for plantar fasciitis shockwave therapy is someone experiencing persistent heel pain that has lasted for several months and has not responded to conservative treatments such as rest, stretching, orthotics or physiotherapy exercises. It is particularly beneficial for people with chronic plantar fasciitis. A physiotherapist will assess your symptoms, medical history and foot biomechanics to determine whether shockwave therapy is the most appropriate treatment.
