Extracorporeal
shockwave therapy or ESWT is a proven treatment method for kidney
stones, but also has its merits in dealing with pain from running.
Some experts state that ESWT procedures on runners have specific
ailments to deal with, with plantar
fasciitis one of the most effective to work on.
Plantar fasciitis is
the inflammation of connective tissue from the base of the foot all
the way to the heel bone. In the case of runners, the condition
occurs when they shift weight onto the toes as they move forward. A
number of health professionals state that the frequent lowering of
the feet’s arches, especially among flat-footed runners, places
heavy tension on the plantar fascia.
