Plantar Fasciitis

Causes: Plantar fasciitis is commonly caused by overuse, repetitive strain, or improper footwear that puts excessive stress on the plantar fascia, leading to microtears and inflammation.

Treatment: Shockwave therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate healing in the affected tissue. This therapy helps increase blood flow to the area, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration, leading to quicker recovery from plantar fasciitis and significant pain relief.

Causes: Chronic inflammation in the plantar fascia can prevent the healing process and increase pain, especially after extended use of the foot.

Treatment: Class IV laser therapy targets the deep layers of the tissue with concentrated light energy, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. The laser stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, enhancing tissue repair and providing long-term relief from plantar fasciitis pain.

Causes: Inflammation and microtears in the plantar fascia can lead to persistent pain and tissue damage, preventing healing over time.

Treatment: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections use the body’s own regenerative properties to accelerate healing. These treatments are designed to reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and stimulate collagen production in the plantar fascia, offering long-term relief and recovery from plantar fasciitis.

Causes: Plantar fasciitis can cause stiffness and weakness in the muscles and tendons of the foot, which exacerbates pain and hinders healing.

Treatment: Physical therapy for plantar fasciitis includes targeted exercises to stretch the plantar fascia, strengthen the foot muscles, and improve overall flexibility. This helps relieve stress on the affected tissue, improves foot function, and prevents future injury.
