If you've ever experienced that sharp, stabbing pain in your heel, especially when you take those first steps in the morning, you might be familiar with the discomfort of plantar fasciitis. It's a common foot condition that can be incredibly frustrating, but fortunately, there's hope for relief with Shockwave Therapy. Let's dive into what plantar fasciitis is, how shockwave treatment works to fix it, what to expect during a treatment session, and why you should schedule your appointment with Boulder Sports Chiropractic today if you're in Boulder, Colorado, or the surrounding areas.
Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. When this tissue becomes irritated or overstressed, it can lead to pain and discomfort, especially during activities like walking, running, or standing for long periods.
How Shockwave Treatment Works to Fix It
Shockwave Therapy offers a non-invasive and effective solution for plantar fasciitis by targeting the root cause of the problem. During a shockwave treatment session, high-energy sound waves are directed at the affected area, stimulating the body's natural healing response.
These shockwaves help to increase blood flow to the injured tissue, promoting the regeneration of damaged cells and reducing inflammation. Additionally, shockwave therapy can help to break up scar tissue and adhesions in the plantar fascia, allowing for improved flexibility and range of motion in the foot.
What to Expect in a Treatment
When you arrive for your shockwave treatment session at Boulder Sports Chiropractic, our experienced team will first conduct a thorough assessment of your condition to ensure that shockwave therapy is the right treatment option for you. Once it's determined that you're a candidate for shockwave treatment, you'll be comfortably positioned for the procedure.
During the treatment, you may feel mild discomfort or a tingling sensation as the shockwaves are delivered to the affected area. However, most patients tolerate the treatment well, and any discomfort typically subsides shortly after the session is complete.
After your treatment session, you may experience some soreness or stiffness in the treated area, but this is normal and should resolve within a few days. Many patients begin to experience improvements in their symptoms after just a few sessions, with full benefits typically realized within a few weeks.
