I did 6.. all a week apart. Yeah .. painful for days after . But now …. I’d say my PF is 70% better. I am now incorporating a lot of stretches … vitamins …new shoes .. and oils etc… shockwave helped me … but this alone isn’t gonna fix me or keep me dancing.

Shock wave therapy post I’m sure this has been posted a number of times but I just thought I’d ask!
Shock wave therapy post I’m sure this has been posted a number of times but I just thought I’d ask! Iv been referred for shockwave therapy and wanted peoples opinions on it, did it work for you? Was there a recovery time? For information I’m 25 and have had planta since November, I also wear insoles for flat feet, do the physio exercises and have seen no improvement.

Did calf stretches and used my hand held messager on my calf muscles Do wear orthotics in my sketchers I wear Birkenstocks when not wearing sketchers Wear soft foam slip ons at home Heat worked for me Cleared up my PF on my own Maybe I did not have it as bad as others I was on a 2 week trip with lots of walking up and down cobblestone hills in Portugal 4 th day into trip I had so much heel pain I hobbled around for the next weeks Was very painful I did take Celebrex and xtra strength Tylenol while on trip It took me 3 months to recover but much better now No more pain Did this on my own reading lots of info Everyone’s severity is different This worked for me ‘ Was told by excellent medical sources not to get Cortisone shots It’s a temporary relief but not a solution plus very painful to get Same with the laser
Well apparently resting the foot is pretty important to get rid of PF. I am on my feet for work in steel toe boots on concrete for 12+ hrs/day, there’s no real rest. Looking for recommendations on the most comfortable work boot. Thanks Have tried a number of different insoles so far with no real results.
Egernox i think they are called but im trying mack boots right now with stryda_movement insoles
Yep definitely try Ergonx. I work in retail and am on my feet in toe caps for anywhere up to 10/11 hours a day. My feet still hurt, but these shoes/boots have been the best I’ve found.
