If your first steps in the morning feel painful, plantar fasciitis may be affecting more than just your feet. Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis is a non-invasive treatment option designed to support the body’s natural response to persistent heel and foot pain.
At Dabbs Rehab Center of Maryland in Columbia, MD, we use StemWave technology to deliver acoustic waves to targeted areas of musculoskeletal discomfort. These acoustic waves are designed to stimulate a biological response within the treated tissue and may support circulation, tissue remodeling, and reduced pain and inflammation.
Shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis may be considered for people experiencing persistent heel pain, tenderness along the plantar fascia, or discomfort that makes standing and walking difficult. Research has evaluated extracorporeal shockwave therapy as an option for plantar fasciitis, particularly when symptoms persist despite more conservative approaches.
We also explain what StemWave treatment feels like, how the technology is applied to the foot, and why identifying the underlying cause of foot pain matters before deciding on a treatment plan.
Every case of plantar fasciitis is different, and results and treatment recommendations can vary. An evaluation can help determine whether StemWave or another conservative treatment approach may be appropriate for you.
