Comparison of Treatment Efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Myofascial Release Techniques in Patients With Plantar Fasciitis

Various treatment methods are employed for patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. However, many of these approaches involve high-cost interventions, such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applications. The present study aims to compare the treatment effectiveness of myofascial release-considered a cost-effective intervention-with ESWT, which is among the most commonly preferred treatment modalities.
