My foot Dr.told me that Shock Wave Therapy for my Plantar Fascia Has a 50/50 result factor.I've had nasty Pf for over 8 months now with Orthodics,3 cort.shots, advil ,stretching,and now foot exercises to strengthen foot But,says this will Work!Has anybody had Shock Wave Therapy?
Plantar Fascia with orthotics?? I thought the whole idea behind orthotics was to prevent injuries...if you're haveing injuries in your orthotics maybe somthing is wrong with them or maybe somthing with your tranining is causing it.
Shock Wave can help PF. Have you tried ART? Do a search on this forum to learn more about it. Orthotics will help the injury heal, as well as help keep you from getting injured again. I've had PF problems with store-bought orthotics, but they certainly were better than no orthotic at all. Do a search on the forum on PF and you'll learn lots.
One session of Shock Wave in late June and I was cured, swear to God. I limped in and walked out and did a pain-free track workout the next day in trainers. Hasn't bothered me since.
Ever tried taping? Very effective & cheap!
Studies done have concluded no significant improvement. I read that somewhere but don't ask me where.
Thanks for the reply.How is your foot doing now?Is shock wave therapy holding up?Did it hurt?What was procedure like?
