Interesting. I've had a mild case of PF the last month or so. It seems to be healing up with the use of orthotic arch support. Had one 30 years ago that was much worse and lasted months. The good thing is once I start walking it stops hurting after a bit.

There was some work done, perhaps 20 years ago, looking at the use of lithotripsy (the machine that breaks up kidney stones with shockwaves) in treating plantar fasciitis.

Our podiatrists called BS, and the later studies confirmed their impression.
