Shock wave therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue in the foot that supports the arch and connects to your heel.

Symptoms

The primary symptom is heel pain, which tends to be more pronounced with weight-bearing activities or upon waking—often hurting most when taking the first steps out of bed.

Causes

Plantar Fasciitis can occur spontaneously without a specific injury, but several factors can increase your risk:

• Being middle-aged
• Being a woman
• Having a job that requires a lot of walking or standing
• Being a runner
