9Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
ESWT or extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a new plantar fasciitis treatment. This technique uses sound waves to relax muscle groups in the affected area of your foot. It is often recommended in those people who have failed other treatments and home remedies for more than 6 to 12 months. You should consider ESWT before moving to surgical options. Keep in mind that there will be some possible side effects such as numbness, pain, swelling, and bruising. Though this method is less invasive than undergoing surgery, it is also less effective.[9]
