How it works
ESWT stimulates neovascularisation, triggers growth factor release, and disrupts calcified deposits. Also has a nerve-ablation effect reducing pain signalling.
Usually requires 3–5 sessions. May cause pain during and immediately after treatment. Best for chronic plantar fasciitis (>6 months). Not suitable in pregnancy.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
