Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in London

Do you wake up with a sharp pain in your heel with your first steps of the day? You’re not alone. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain affecting not only runners but also busy professionals who spend long hours on their feet.

At CBR Clinics, we offer tailored treatment plans using evidence-based physiotherapy and Shockwave Therapy from our London clinics in Canary Wharf and Waterloo. Whether your condition is acute or chronic, we’re here to help you reclaim your mobility, and your mornings.

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. It causes sharp heel pain, usually with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing.

• Sharp pain on the sole of the foot or under the heel
• Pain after standing for long periods or after exercise
• Increased discomfort after rest
• Usually worse in the mornings.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a gold standard non-invasive treatment that uses mechanical waves to stimulate healing in the affected tendon. It’s particularly effective for chronic cases of Plantar Fasciitis that haven’t responded to conventional physiotherapy or other modalities.

Clinical Evidence Supporting ESWT:

• Radial Shockwave Therapy in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis
  A randomised, placebo-controlled multicenter study published in The Journal of Orthopaedic Research found that radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) significantly improved pain and function in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. The treatment group showed a 72.1% reduction in pain compared to 44.7% in the placebo group at 12 weeks. Read the study on PubMed
• Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of ESWT for Plantar Fasciitis
  A comprehensive review published in Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research analysed multiple studies and concluded that extracorporeal shockwave therapy offers a clinically significant reduction in pain and improvement in function for patients with plantar fasciitis. Read the review
• NICE Guidance on ESWT for Plantar Fasciitis
  The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) supports the use of ESWT for chronic plantar fasciitis, noting its potential benefit for patients who haven’t responded to conventional treatments. Read the NICE guidance
