Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Advanced Plantar Fasciitis Treatment at DakshinRehab
What is plantar fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot conditions affecting runners, walkers, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet. That sharp, stabbing heel pain when you first step out of bed or after sitting—that's plantar fasciitis. Problem: The pain won't go away. You've tried rest, ice, stretching, and over-the-counter insoles. Nothing works long-term. The pain returns every morning, making every step a reminder of your condition. Agitate: The frustration of not being able to walk without pain. The fear that this will never get better. The worry that you'll have to give up running or walking. The overwhelming sense that simple activities are now impossible. Solution: At DakshinRehab Moosapet, Hyderabad, our plantar fasciitis treatment program combines Chattanooga radial shockwave therapy to break down adhesions and stimulate healing, custom foot orthotics to correct biomechanical faults, and progressive loading exercises to build tissue capacity. Our 3D gait analysis identifies the root cause—overpronation, tight calves, or improper footwear—and our pressure mapping ensures your orthotics offload the plantar fascia effectively. Most patients see 70-80% improvement within 6-8 sessions. What technology do we use? We use advanced shockwave therapy, <a href="/services/assessment-analysis">3D gait analysis</a>, and pressure mapping to identify and treat the root cause of your plantar fasciitis. Your pain-free walking starts here.

"Plantar fasciitis doesn't have to limit your life. Our integrated approach—shockwave therapy, custom orthotics, and biomechanical correction—addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms."
Our Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Protocol
A systematic approach to plantar fasciitis treatment—from comprehensive assessment and shockwave therapy to custom orthotics and progressive loading—ensures lasting relief.
Comprehensive Assessment
We evaluate your foot structure, walking pattern, calf flexibility, footwear, and activity history. 3D gait analysis and pressure mapping identify biomechanical faults contributing to your plantar fasciitis.
Shockwave Therapy Sessions
Chattanooga radial shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pulses to break down adhesions, stimulate healing, and reduce pain. Typical treatment: 3-6 weekly sessions with progressive loading exercises between visits.
Custom Orthotics & Footwear
Based on pressure mapping results, we prescribe custom foot orthotics that redistribute pressure away from the plantar fascia. We provide footwear recommendations and verify orthotic effectiveness with follow-up pressure mapping.
Progressive Loading & Prevention
We design progressive loading exercises to build tissue capacity and prevent recurrence. Education on proper footwear, activity modification, and long-term prevention strategies ensures lasting results.
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Phases
Our evidence-based plantar fasciitis program progresses through four phases—pain reduction, tissue healing, biomechanical correction, and return to activity—to ensure complete recovery.
Phase 1: Pain Reduction (Weeks 1-2)
Initial shockwave therapy sessions reduce pain and inflammation. We provide activity modification strategies, stretching protocols, and temporary offloading measures. Goal: reduce morning pain by 50% and improve walking tolerance.
Phase 2: Tissue Healing (Weeks 3-6)
Continued shockwave therapy sessions combined with progressive loading exercises build tissue capacity. Custom orthotics are prescribed and fitted based on pressure mapping. Goal: eliminate morning pain and improve activity tolerance.
Phase 3: Biomechanical Correction (Weeks 7-10)
Focus shifts to correcting contributing factors—calf flexibility, foot strength, gait patterns. Follow-up pressure mapping verifies orthotic effectiveness. Progressive loading continues. Goal: pain-free walking and return to normal activities.
Phase 4: Return to Activity (Weeks 11-14)
Gradual return to full activities including running and sports. We provide return-to-activity protocols and long-term prevention strategies. Periodic check-ins ensure sustained results. Goal: full return to desired activities without recurrence.
Why Our Integrated Approach Works
Plantar fasciitis often persists because treatment addresses symptoms but not root causes. Shockwave therapy reduces pain and stimulates healing, but without correcting biomechanical faults (overpronation, tight calves, improper footwear), the condition returns. Our integrated approach combines shockwave therapy for immediate pain relief, custom orthotics to correct biomechanical faults, and progressive loading to build tissue capacity. Research shows this combination achieves 70-80% improvement rates compared to 40-50% with single interventions. Our 3D gait analysis and pressure mapping ensure we target your specific contributing factors, not just generic treatments.
Example:
Clinical evidence: Patients treated with shockwave therapy plus custom orthotics showed 75% pain reduction and 80% functional improvement at 12 weeks, compared to 45% improvement with shockwave alone.
