Plantar Fasciitis


Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—the thick band of tissue supporting the arch of your foot—becomes damaged from repetitive stress. While often called “inflammation,” many chronic cases are actually due to poor healing and tissue breakdown, which is why rest alone often doesn’t solve the problem.
This commonly causes:
-
Sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning
-
Pain after rest or long periods on your feet
-
Ongoing flare-ups that limit training and performance
How Shockwave Therapy Helps
We treat plantar fasciitis using focused shockwave therapy, a non-invasive treatment that delivers targeted acoustic waves into the damaged tissue to restart the body’s natural healing process.
Shockwave therapy helps by:
-
Increasing blood flow to poorly healed tissue
-
Stimulating collagen repair
-
Reducing pain at its source
-
Strengthening the plantar fascia over time
This allows athletes to heal—not just mask symptoms.
What to Expect
-
Treatments take 15–20 minutes
-
No injections, no surgery, no downtime
-
Most athletes need 3–6 treatments per side
-
Each foot is treated and charged separately
Typical investment:
$550 per side for the series of 3 treatments. This is well below the market pricing of $750, because as much as possible, we don't want cost to get in the way of you getting back to doing what you love.
Why It’s Worth It
Focused shockwave therapy has been shown to produce lasting results, especially for plantar fasciitis that hasn’t improved with stretching, orthotics, or rest. It can help you avoid injections, repeated flare-ups, or surgery—and get back to training with confidence.
Our pricing is below typical focused shockwave therapy rates because we’ve built our clinic to be efficient and accessible. We believe athletes deserve high-level recovery care without unnecessary barriers.
Heal the Right Way. Get Back to Moving.
If heel pain is holding you back, shockwave therapy may be the next step.
