Shockwave therapy for podiatry

The meta-analysis of current scientific evidence demonstrates that the application of shock wave therapy to the plantar fascia enthesis or the inferior calcaneus is a safe and effective non-surgical method for treating chronic and recalcitrant heel pain syndrome that has proven refractory to other commonly used non-surgical therapies. The results suggest that this therapeutic procedure should be considered before any surgical intervention and is preferable to corticosteroid injections, which carry a recognised risk of plantar fascia rupture and frequent symptom recurrence.

Shock wave therapy represents a first-line, low-risk option for the treatment of a wide range of podiatric conditions, including plantar fasciitis, bone oedema, non-union fractures and delayed bone healing, diabetic or avascular pressure ulcers, Achilles tendinopathy, among others.
