Article Synopsis
- Although both peloidotherapy and ESWT are effective treatments for plantar fasciitis, there is a lack of direct comparative research on their effectiveness.
- A study involving 78 patients assessed the impact of both treatments on pain levels, quality of life, and functional status over three weeks, with significant improvements noted for both groups.
- While peloidotherapy showed slightly better outcomes immediately post-treatment, the benefits were similar when comparing both methods over the longer term, suggesting that either treatment, combined with a home exercise program, is a valid option for managing plantar fasciitis.
