Hello guys, what is your opinion onextracorporeal shock wave therapy or injection of corticosteroids for plantar fasciitis and heel spur? I´ve read some of yours recommendetations here on forums, studies on Pubmed, articles on painscience.com and NEJM. The informations are not clear (at least for me).
Thanks, Filip
Hey Filip,
What in regards to research evidence have you found/read? Can you provide links?
Overall - my stance is to treat plantar fasciopathy like a tendinopathy and manage load appropriately while dosing in loading to the area and educating on the topic of pain.
