DakshinRehab is a leading physiotherapy and rehabilitation center in Hyderabad offering neuro-rehab, musculoskeletal care, sports injury rehab, post-surgical recovery, and inpatient rehabilitation.
What causes plantar fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes—becomes inflamed or develops micro-tears. Common causes include overpronation (excessive inward foot rolling), tight calf muscles, high arches or flat feet, improper footwear, and sudden increases in activity. How does shockwave therapy help? Chattanooga radial shockwave therapy delivers acoustic pulse waves that break down adhesions, stimulate blood flow, and trigger tissue repair. This accelerates healing and reduces pain more effectively than rest alone. How do custom orthotics help? Custom foot orthotics correct biomechanical faults that contribute to plantar fasciitis. Our pressure mapping identifies exactly where your foot experiences excessive pressure, and we design orthotics to redistribute that pressure away from the plantar fascia. For comprehensive foot care, our sports injury treatment program integrates shockwave with progressive loading protocols. Our assessment technology identifies biomechanical patterns contributing to plantar fasciitis.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
