With
spring upon us, it's time to get back outside and enjoy our favourite sport. Be
it running, volleyball, soccer, or golf - or all of them - exercising pain-free
isn't too much to ask. But what if you suffer from plantar fasciitis?
Plantar
fasciitis is inflammation of the tissues at the bottom of the foot. These
tissues connect the heel bone to the toes. It occurs when those tissues are
overused (overstretched), causing the muscles to tighten and become quite
painful. This is often impacts the most seasoned long-distance runners.
Another cause of plantar fasciitis is sudden weight gain (which puts added
pressure on the tissues). The pain is often constant, and can even make the
simplest tasks, such as walking, very difficult.
If
you think that you may have plantar fasciitis there
are plantar fasciitis treatments available, including treatment options that
don’t involve invasive surgical procedures. Invasive procedures like surgery to
remedy plantar fasciitis can keep you off of your feet for weeks. If you suffer
from the pain caused by plantar fasciitis, you don’t have to suffer through it.
One really great plantar fasciitis treatment is Sonocur shockwave therapy.
What
is shockwave therapy? Sonocur shockwave therapy is a high-tech, non-invasive
form of treatment delivering low-energy sound waves to the affected area,
helping to encourage the growth of new blood vessels and break down scar
tissue. The procedure is pain-free, and does not require any anesthesia – just
sit back and relax and let the doctor work his or her magic.
A
major benefit to electing shockwave therapy as a plantarfasciitis treatment is the amount of time saved. Instead of requiring extensive downtime, this
treatment, covered over a period of weeks, affords immediate relief, letting
you get back out there right away - no recovery time needed!
Sonocur therapy isn’t just for plantar fasciitis since it
works on way more than just feet. Sonocur shockwave therapy can also help with
these other conditions: jumper’s knee and runner’s knee, tendonitis (rotator
cuff, biceps, quadriceps, Achilles), tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. Many of
these conditions can keep you from the field or the track due to pain caused
while trying to partake. Shockwave therapy can get you back out there straight
away.
If
you are suffering from foot pain, don’t ignore it. Sonocur shockwave therapy is
a proven effective plantar fasciitis treatment
that will help you get back in the game.
