Summary

This study tests whether focused shockwave therapy (fESWT) plus exercise reduces pain and improves walking in people with chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain lasting over 6 months). About 20 adults will be randomly assigned to either fESWT plus exercise or exercise alone. Researchers will measure pain, foot function, and changes in the heel tissue using ultrasound.
