"...advantage of shockwave therapy, in returning patients with planter fasciitis to more function and pain free levels sooner". Am J Sports Med. 2008 Nov;36(11):2100-9.
...."Compared with placebo, ESWT significantly improved the success rate of reducing overall heel pain, reducing the (Pain) score(s) by 60% at the first step in the morning and during daily activities".
Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2017 Aug;96(8):529-534.
"Nineteen trials with 1676 patients with plantar fasciitis plantar fasciitis were included... We recommend treating plantar fasciitis with RSW Radial Shock Wave Therapy.
Medicine (Baltimore). 2018 Oct;97(43):e12819.
" Three Shockwave sessions of treatment was equally effective as ten sessions of conventional physical therapy, providing faster immediate pain relief."
Greve JM et al. Clinics (Sao Paulo). 2009;64(2):97-103.
"Radial shock wave therapy is a good alternative choice for plantar fasciitis treatment because of its lower price and possible equal or better effectiveness than traditional focused shock wave". Chang KV et al. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2012;93(7):1259-68.
