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 become things you avoid.
You've tried orthotics, cortisone shots, or physical therapy, only to get temporary relief.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most stubborn injuries. Without the right treatment, it becomes chronic.
The treatment
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses concentrated energy to jumpstart your body's own healing response in damaged tissue. It reaches the kind of scarred, stretched tissue that simply cannot repair itself on its own.
We assess your heel, review your history, and confirm shockwave is the right fit. No obligation, no pressure. Just a clear picture of what is going on and what can help.
A handheld device delivers concentrated energy precisely to the injured tissue. Sessions take around 20 minutes. Most patients notice improvement within the first few treatments.
The treatment stimulates collagen production and increases blood flow to the injured tissue, breaking down scar tissue and promoting genuine repair rather than just masking the pain.
Most patients complete 6 to 12 sessions spaced one week apart. No downtime, no surgery, no prescription required. Those who keep up with their exercises often recover on the faster end.

Karlee N.Common questions
A few honest answers to what most people wonder before booking.
Most patients describe it as a deep, tapping pressure rather than sharp pain. Intensity is adjusted to your comfort level, and any soreness afterward typically fades within 24 hours.
Orthotics, stretching, and cortisone shots manage symptoms. Shockwave actively stimulates tissue repair at the source, which is why it works for plantar fasciitis that hasn't responded to other approaches.
That's completely fine. The consultation is genuinely free with zero obligation. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your condition either way.
