shockwave phonophoresis

Details and patient eligibility

About

The Low energy shockwave has a significant effect on the permeability of tissue. Consequently, it might be used to deliver a substance such as Acetic acid. Accordingly, Shockwave might help to improve the outcomes with calcaneal spur patients. Therefore, the present study might help in the treatment of calcaneal spur patients and also might improve the quality of life in a fast and efficient way.

Enrollment: 60 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 35 to 65 years old
