Effective Plantar Fasciitis Relief Through Shockwave Therapy 

Struggling with plantar fasciitis and found limited relief from traditional treatments like painkillers or physiotherapy? At We Fix Feet, we offer a revolutionary solution that doesn't involve surgery. Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive technique that uses sound waves to target and heal inflamed tissues in your foot, providing rapid heel pain relief and aiding your recovery.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick ligament connecting your heel to the front of your foot. This condition is common among athletes and individuals who stand a lot, resulting in sharp pain in the heel and foot arch. Often, the discomfort arises from poor footwear, excessive exercise, or overuse.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), harnesses sound waves to stimulate the affected area, enhancing blood flow and promoting tissue regeneration. This treatment is performed using a hand-held device that delivers these waves deep into the tissue through a simple, pain-free procedure.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

During your initial visit to We Fix Feet, you'll undergo a comprehensive assessment to ensure shockwave therapy is right for you. Here’s what happens during a typical session:

• You’ll lie face-down on a treatment table, with your foot propped up.

• A gel is applied to your heel to facilitate the sound waves' transmission.

• The shockwave device is pressed against your heel, delivering pulses for about 10 minutes.

While you may experience slight discomfort during treatment, it's generally mild and a positive indication of healing activation.

Proven Results and NICE Endorsement

Shockwave therapy boasts a high success rate, with studies showing up to 90% effectiveness in reducing heel pain. It is endorsed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), making it a trusted choice for treating plantar fasciitis.

Potential Side Effects

Typically minor, side effects can include temporary pain, swelling, or redness at the treatment site, usually resolving within a week.

Quick Recovery

One of the major benefits of shockwave therapy is its minimal downtime. You can resume most daily activities immediately, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 48 hours post-treatment.
