Dose-Related Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis
OBJECTIVE To examine the dose-related effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for plantar fasciitis. METHODS Sixty patients with plantar fasciitis despite conservative treatment were enrolled. The patients were divided into a low-energy group (group L: n=30, 1,000 shocks/session, energy flux density [EFD] per shock 0.08 mJ/mm(2)) and a medium-energy group (group M: n=30, 1,000 shoc...

(1) Electrohydraulic, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric devices are used to translate energy into acoustic waves during extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis (or heel pain). These waves may help to accelerate the healing process via an unknown mechanism. (2) ESWT, which is performed as an outpatient procedure, is intended to alleviate the pain due to chronic p...
