Abstract
The current evidence-based literature considers the treatment of plantar fasciitis with the use of shock wave (SW) therapy of different energy levels and describes the methods for its practical application. However, no reliable data are thus far available to confirm the advantages of this approach over the conservative treatment. The recent publications compare the effectiveness of SW therapy at different energy levels and demonstrate the enhanced effectiveness of radial SW therapy of plantar fasciitis in comparison with placebo and other therapeutic modalities. All the authors emphasize the safety of SW therapy and recommend its further investigation. An indisputable advantage of SW therapy is the possibility of its application once weekly for the convenience of the patients attending the outpatient facilities. We undertook the analysis of the results of the treatment of 92 patients that confirmed the safety of SW therapy and its higher effectiveness compared with other methods for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, such as local cryotherapy and hydrocortisone phonophoresis.
