Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis in Edmonton

Written By Virago Social Co.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. If you’ve tried rest, stretching, and orthotics without lasting relief, Shockwave Therapy may help.

At our Callingwood clinic, Shockwave Therapy is commonly used to treat chronic plantar fasciitis in Edmonton.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue under your foot becomes irritated and inflamed.

Symptoms include:

  • Sharp heel pain in the morning

  • Pain after long periods of standing

  • Discomfort during walking or running

How Shockwave Therapy Helps

Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic waves to:

  • Stimulate blood flow

  • Break down scar tissue

  • Promote tissue regeneration

  • Reduce chronic tendon irritation

Many patients see improvement after 3–6 sessions.

Is Shockwave Better Than Injections?

Unlike corticosteroid injections, shockwave therapy works by encouraging healing rather than suppressing inflammation temporarily.

For many patients in Edmonton dealing with chronic heel pain, it’s a safe, non-invasive option.
