Shockwave Therapy For Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and happens when the thick band of tissue, plantar fascia, that connects the heel bone to the toes, is inflamed. The tissue helps absorb the stress at the bottom of the feet, however, if the pressure is too high or persists for a longer period of time, it can damage the tissue.

Shockwave therapy is an effective, long-term treatment for plantar fasciitis. Not only that, it is quick and non-surgical in nature.

The MASTERPULS® Ultra MP50, MP100, and MP200 machines, from Storz Medical, available at Shockwave Canada, can be used to treat plantar fasciitis. Four different transmitter heads perfect for the treatment of fascia are available to be used with the machines to provide targeted treatment.
