Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave in Planter Fasciitis

Extracorporeal Shockwave (ESW) is a popular, non-invasive approach that arisen in line to stimulate healing via acoustic waves targeting lesion site i.e., planter fasciitis. Therefore, current clinical trial targets to determine the long-term effectiveness of ESW on Calcaneal spur in terms of quality of life, functional, and clinical manifestations, as well addressing real barriers for ESW approach among whom diagnosed with planter fasciitis.
