" Been completing in triathlons for years and started to have pain in my heel which was plantar fasciitis pain. I went to the Dr. Chase for shock wave therapy and after the first treatment I was getting relief. After all the treatments I'm back to running full time and competing again with minimal pain in my heel"
Lee G. Summer 2021 "Like to run and hike with my kids up in the mountains. I was having really bad heel pain, Dr. C showed me cool excises that I can do to help get out of pain. Also the shock wave hurts but you can feel it deep on the heel and feel the difference after one treatment. After my 2 month follow up I'm well on my way back to hiking and running".
