Shockwave Therapy is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and chronic heel pain, making it an effective option for patients seeking faster recovery.
Achilles Tendonitis occurs when the Achilles tendon becomes inflamed due to overuse, strain, or improper biomechanics. This condition can cause stiffness, swelling, and pain at the back of the heel — especially during walking or physical activity.
