Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis, San Diego Shockwave Clinic

Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis is becoming the gold standard treatment type in sports medicine clinics. Plantar fasciitis treatment generally involves loosening up the tight plantar fascia as well as the surrounding musculature of the foot and lower leg. In the past, we relied heavily on using Graston technique for plantar fasciitis and have had great success. That being said, the best treatment for plantar fasciitis that we are currently using is shockwave therapy!

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves, or sound waves at a very high amplitude or energy level which results in mechanical irritation of the injured tissues. This irritation of the tissues results in production of growth factors in the area to increase capillary formation (improved blood flow), release of stem cells to help regenerate the injured tissues, and produces increase collagen production to help the area heal. Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis also disrupts the pain signals from the heel to our nervous system. The acoustic waves help disperse pain mediating neurotransmitters (substance P), so the pain signals are no longer carried through the pain sensitive nerve endings. This helps significantly in both short term and long term pain relief. Graston technique for plantar fasciitis offers some of the same benefit but is limited by the degree of depth Graston can reach; this is where shockwave has a significant advantage.

Shockwave treatments for plantar fasciitis are quick, relatively pain free and offer complete resolution of the symptoms often after a series of only 4-6 treatments. Graston technique for plantar fasciitis often will take about twice as long for similar results. Both options can offer significant improvement for plantar fasciitis, however we find shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis to be more efficient, effective, and more cost effective for the patient in the long run. If you have tried other conservative methods for plantar fasciitis and still have lingering symptoms, we highly recommend a treatment trial of shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis!
