Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spur Treatment in Brooklyn

If you’re searching for plantar fasciitis treatment in Brooklyn or have been told you have a heel spur, you’re likely dealing with chronic heel pain that hasn’t responded to stretching, orthotics, or injections.

At Form & Function Chiropractic, we provide precision-based extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis and heel spur-related pain. Our approach integrates focused shockwave, radial EPAT®, EMTT, and diagnostic ultrasound to stimulate true tissue repair — not temporary symptom suppression.

Most heel pain is not just inflammation. It is degenerative tissue that has failed to heal properly.

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy and EMTT helps restart that healing process.

Is a Heel Spur Really the Cause of Your Pain?

Why Plantar Fasciitis Becomes Chronic…

Many patients are told their pain is caused by a heel spur seen on X-ray.

However:

• Heel spurs are common and often painless

• The plantar fascia is usually the true pain generator

• Chronic plantar fasciitis is more accurately plantar fasciopathy (degenerative, not inflammatory)

Removing a heel spur surgically rarely addresses the underlying tissue dysfunction.

Regenerative shockwave therapy targets the damaged plantar fascia and stimulates biological repair at the source.

Plantar fasciitis becomes persistent when:

• Microtearing accumulates

• Collagen disorganization develops

• Blood supply diminishes

• Load exceeds tissue capacity

This creates a failed healing cycle.

Rest alone does not reverse this.

Stretching alone does not reverse this.

Cortisone suppresses pain but does not regenerate tissue.

Shockwave therapy stimulates mechanotransduction, angiogenesis, and collagen remodeling to restore plantar fascia integrity.
