Summary
This study compares two treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. One is shockwave therapy (a costly procedure) and the other is myofascial release (a hands-on massage technique). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief and foot function. About 114 adults with plantar fasciitis will take part, and their progress will be measured using pain scales and foot function questionnaires.
