First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tested two treatments for chronic heel pain caused by heel spurs: posterior tibial nerve stimulation (a gentle nerve-zapping technique) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (sound waves). 100 adults aged 18-65 took part. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and improves foot function. Both are non-invasive and aim to ease symptoms without surgery.
