Extracorporeal shock wave treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis.
(1) Electrohydraulic, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric devices are used to translate energy into acoustic waves during extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis (or heel pain). These waves may help to accelerate the healing process via an unknown mechanism. (2) ESWT, which is performed as an outpatient procedure, is intended to alleviate the pain due to chronic p...

متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave therapy is effective in treating chronic plantar fasciitis
BACKGROUND Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common reason for heel pain. The efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) as an ideal alternative to conservative treatments and surgery is controversial, and almost all previous articles compared general ESWT with placebo without indicating the kind of shock wave. We undertook a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of general ESWT, foc...
