ESWT for Plantar Fasciitis - the video

Let me share with you a bit more on the extra-corporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT).

ESWT works by bombarding the tissue with high-pressure sound waves and is thought to stimulate blood flow for a beneficial immune response; it also causes microtrauma to the tissue to stimulate healing.

Typically each session lasts about 15-20 minutes; the patients do not experience any pain, with most reporting a tingling feeling. The heel is iced after the session to prevent soreness.

So okay, ready for the video? Just hit the "play button"..
