Shock Wave Therapy for Sural Myofascial Pain Associated to Chronic Heel Pain

Enrolled subjects were treated with focused shock wave therapy, once a week for three consecutive weeks, by a specialized physician with more than five years of expertise, using a device powered by a piezoelectric generator (PIEZOSON 100PLUS, Richard Wolf®). At each treatment session, with the patients lying in prone decubitus position, the enthesis of the plantar fascia and the gastrocnemius-soleus trigger points were clinically targeted and treated with a perpendicular technique.
