Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, affecting both mobility and quality of life. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot, becomes inflamed due to overuse, injury, or strain. Left untreated, plantar fasciitis can worsen, making even basic activities uncomfortable.
At Paragon Podiatry, we offer innovative, non-invasive solutions, including radial pulse shockwave therapy (RSW). This advanced treatment uses targeted energy waves to penetrate deep into the tissue, promoting increased blood flow, accelerated healing, and reduced inflammation. The quick, outpatient procedure keeps discomfort minimal and requires no downtime, making it an effective option for patients seeking relief without surgery.

With RSW and our dedication to advanced techniques, we aim to restore your mobility, reduce pain, and improve your foot health. At Paragon Podiatry, we help you take every step with comfort and confidence.
Some of the most common symptoms of plantar fasciitis include heel pain, especially in the morning or after long periods of rest, stabbing pain near the heel, increased pain after exercise (but not during), and stiffness or tenderness in the arch of the foot.
You should see a podiatrist for plantar fasciitis if you experience persistent heel pain that doesn't improve with home treatments like rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers, or if the pain is affecting your daily activities and quality of life. Additionally, if the pain is severe or if you have other foot problems, a podiatrist can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve function in conditions like plantar fasciitis. It's generally considered a safer and less costly option compared to plantar fasciitis surgery, which involves cutting or detaching the plantar fascia to relieve tension and pain.
While surgery can be effective for severe cases, it requires a longer recovery time and comes with typical surgical risks. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, has a shorter recovery period and is often recommended for those looking to avoid surgery, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
