What is plantar fasciitis (heel spur)?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia – a thick band of connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes – becomes inflamed or damaged.
Morning pain
Sharp, stabbing pain under the heel with the first steps after waking up or after prolonged sitting.
Pain when standing
Intense discomfort under the heel during prolonged standing or walking.
Localized pain
Pain is precisely defined – in the inner edge of the heel, at the attachment point of the plantar fascia.
Worsening pain
Pain intensifies throughout the day with increased activity or after prolonged rest.
What causes plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis usually occurs due to the following reasons:
- Overloading: Excessive running, prolonged standing, or suddenly increased physical activity
- Foot anatomy: Flat feet, high arch, or abnormal gait
- Age: Most common between ages 40-60
- Excess weight: Adds pressure to the plantar fascia
- Inappropriate footwear: Poor support or cushioning
- Tight Achilles tendon: Affects foot mobility
⚡ Shockwave Therapy: Precision Technology for Your Foot
Shockwave therapy is one of today's most effective non-invasive treatment methods for plantar fasciitis. It uses controlled acoustic waves that:
🎯 Stimulate healing
Acoustic waves activate cellular repair processes, increasing blood circulation and metabolism in the damaged area.
💥 Break down scar tissue
Waves help break down scar tissue formed as a result of chronic inflammation, restoring connective tissue flexibility.
🔬 Stimulate collagen production
Triggers the body's natural collagen production, which is necessary for forming strong and healthy connective tissue.
⚡ Reduce pain
Blocks pain impulses and releases natural pain-relieving substances (endorphins).
How does shockwave therapy work?
📅 Treatment Course: 7 sessions (3-4 weeks)
🎯 Session 1: Diagnosis and first treatment
Duration: 30-40 minutes
Goal: Determining the exact pain point and first activation of the treatment device.
🔄 Sessions 2-4: Intensive treatment phase
Frequency: 2-3 times per week
Goal: Breaking down scar tissue, reducing inflammation, activating blood circulation, and initiating healing processes.
📈 Sessions 5-7: Result consolidation
Frequency: 1-2 times per week
Goal: Supporting the formation of new, healthy connective tissue and stabilizing results.
📈 Post-treatment expectations
After the treatment course, recovery occurs on average 1.5 months, after which the treatment results can be felt. If symptoms persist, the course should be repeated.
