    I tried all sorts of exercises and treatments for a couple of months, slight improvement. Finally booked 6 week sessions of shock wave therapy and noticed improvement steady after each session. One more to go but already I am walking nearly normal and practically pain free. Highly recommended by me.

      @@crispycruiser4654 I’m pleased to say yes it did. I highly recommend shock wave therapy for Plantar Fasciitis. I’m playing golf 3 times each walking fast and jogging regularly down the gym. Not sure I want to go back rod running but pretty sure I could if I wanted to.

      @@normanmorgan1596 Thank goodness. Do you think it was the shockwave that helped you? I have been dealing with this for over two years, in THREE different locations. First the central band, and I had Topaz surgery. Recovered fully. Then the medial band. Had Tenjet surgery. Recovered fully. Now the lateral band. It is just un-freaking-believable. There is no pain at rest, so I feel ready to go go go, until I stand up, then it feels like walking on marble. It's there every step, but it does relent as I walk more throughout the day. Unbelievably frustrating. I got it in my right foot after I had Achilles tendonitis in my left foot. Guess I was heavily compensating at different parts of my right foot at different times. I had shockwave a couple years ago for metatarsalgia (2nd and 3rd toe capusiltis) and it did completely clear up about a month after the shockwave. I've had two rounds of shockwave on my lateral band and more sore than ever before. Doctor says this is normal and give it a month after the 4th or 5th session, so another 6-8 weeks.

    I had this done almost 15 years ago, it took 3 months to stop hurting, but I’m 100% pain free. Had both feet done, it’s incredible!

      I had this done a few years ago as well. Had plantar fasciitis in my right heel. Tried everything before and NOTHING. Nothing was working so my doctor told me EPAT is a great last resort. It cost me $500 but let me tell you. SO worth the money and the risk. It completely cured it. I had plantar fasciitis back in 2015 and haven’t had it ever since. So grateful and I’m a HUGE believer in EPAT!!

      Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "physiotherapy treatment for plantar fasciitis" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Seayiliamon Aphonic Supremacy - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to eliminate your plantar fasciitis minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.

    I was diagnosed with chronic pain in both my heels after an injury (falling from height).
    The pain was so bad, it felt like my feet were on fire, worn-out and throbbing.
    By chance i found out the podiatrist has a pulse wave machine.
    I go there every 6 weeks and get this pulse therapy on the inside of my heels.
    I dont get the servere burning feeling anymore. After the treatment my heels feel great..but shortly after an itchyness comes back and some discomfort.

      @@crispycruiser4654 I've been to multiple doctors and they are clueless about most of the things because healthcare is one of the worst aspects of the country where I live. Not long ago they didn't even know what is shockwave or for example PRP injections.. So unfortunately I am forced to study about things myself and then propose solutions to them. I shouldn't do that, that is their job but life sucks so..
