Suffer from Plantar Fasciitis❓

💢250 patients with chronic plantar fasciitis were included in a study that compared extracorporeal focused shock wave with placebo treatment.
All subjects were assessed on pain and function at baseline (before start of treatment), then received three weekly treatments, and were assessed again at 12 weeks after treatment.
At 12-weeks follow-up, median heel pain score decreased with 69.2% in the shock wave group, versus 34.5% in the placebo group.
Patients in the extracorporeal focused shock wave group also showed significantly better function than the placebo group.
From this study can be concluded that 3 sessions of extracorporeal focused shock wave produced significant clinical improvement in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis.
