Watch as Dr Edwin Ong, Former Resident Doctor, Dr Tan & Partners (DTAP clinic) talks about ESWT, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, as an effective treatment for Plantar Fasciitis. Shock Wave therapy is a safe, quick and non-invasive treatment using energy from sound waves to activate the self healing properties of the body and accelerate the recovery process.
If you have ever experienced intense pain over the bottom of your heel whenever you wake up in the morning and take your first few steps, chances are that you have had plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain and affects approximately 1 in 10 people at some point during their lifetime. The pain is typically sharp and sudden and usually happens in only one foot, although both feet can be affected at the same time.
To conduct the treatment for plantar fasciitis, we place the treatment probe over the affected area and deliver the required number of shocks. The treatment for plantar fasciitis is tolerable. Most patients will need about 2 to 3 sessions each 2 weeks apart. If you are suffering from plantar fasciitis and require treatment for plantar fasciitis, speak to your Doctor and ask if Shock Wave therapy is right for you.
