Alternative
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
for Plantar Fasciitis
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy — a non-surgical outpatient procedure using high-energy acoustic waves to promote tissue healing in chronic plantar fasciitis.
How it works
ESWT stimulates neovascularisation, triggers growth factor release, and disrupts calcified deposits. Also has a nerve-ablation effect reducing pain signalling.
What to watch for
Usually requires 3–5 sessions. May cause pain during and immediately after treatment. Best for chronic plantar fasciitis (>6 months). Not suitable in pregnancy.
