Plantar Fasciitis
A condition that affects the bottom of the feet
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is a very painful, but common condition that affects the bottom of the feet. Caused by inflammation and tearing of the connective tissue band that runs from the heel to the toes, plantar fasciitis is easy to diagnose, but very difficult to treat. Plantar fasciitis is commonly found in runners and athletes, but this condition can pop up for individuals of any age and activity level.
How Is It Treated?
Plantar Fasciitis can be treated many different ways, with varying degrees of success. Initially, most people are sent to Physical Therapy or given exercises and different stretching techniques to perform. They may also be encouraged to wear orthotics. The medical treatments for Plantar Fasciitis can be hit-or-miss as well. Common medical treatments are:
- NSAIDS/OTC Pain Medication
- Rx Steroids
- Steroid Injections
- Surgery
If you have tried these with no success, we would love to help you. Our office offers an alternative, new method to these old-school ones.

What Do We Do?
At West Cary Wellness, we treat Plantar Fasciitis with a cutting-edge technology called “EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY.” Also referred to as “ESWT” or simply “Shockwave,” this treatment involves bombarding the connective tissue with high-frequency sound waves that accomplish some very important things:
- Breakdowns scar tissue
- Increase blood flow (Neo-Vascularization)
- Promotes healing of the damaged fascia
This procedure has been tested and proven in multiple clinical trials. Our patients have seen amazing results over a treatment period of only 10 VISITS with PERMANENT RESULTS!
