Shockwave therapy breaks the cycle of chronic plantar fasciitis — without surgery, without steroids, and without months of "wait and see."
Sound familiar?
Most patients spend months icing, stretching, and resting — only to wake up to the same stabbing heel pain every morning. That's not a you problem. It's an approach problem.
That first step out of bed feels like stepping on glass. You know exactly what we're talking about.
Running, hiking, standing at work — things you love are now things you avoid.
You've tried orthotics, cortisone shots, or physical therapy — with only temporary relief.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most stubborn injuries. Without the right treatment, it becomes chronic.
The treatment
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high-energy acoustic pulses to restart your body's own healing process in damaged tissue — the kind of healing that stretched, scarred plantar fascia just can't do on its own.
We assess your heel pain, review your history, and confirm shockwave is the right fit for you. No obligation, no pressure — just clarity.
A handheld device delivers focused pulses directly to the plantar fascia. Sessions take around 15 minutes. Most patients notice improvement within the first few treatments.
The pulses stimulate collagen production and increase blood flow to the injured tissue, breaking down calcification and promoting genuine repair — not just pain masking.
Most patients complete 6–12 sessions spaced one week apart. No downtime, no surgery, no prescription required. Those who commit to the full course of care — and keep up with their exercises — often recover on the faster end.
