Proven Shockwave Therapy Eases Heel & Elbow Pain
Discover how non-invasive shockwave therapy helps relieve common overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow in active older adults.
Shockwave therapy is an increasingly popular treatment for a variety of overuse injuries, including heel pain from plantar fasciitis and elbow pain from tennis elbow. As more people stay active into their later years, these types of repetitive strain injuries have become more common.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most frequent causes of heel pain, occurring when the thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes becomes inflamed. This can make even basic activities like walking incredibly painful. Similarly, tennis elbow results from overuse and inflammation of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bony prominence on the outside of the elbow.
