Shockwave vs PRP for Foot Pain
Quick Answer: Shockwave (EPAT) is non-invasive, no needles, and effective for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. PRP is more invasive but may help severe chronic cases. Often combined for best results.
Choosing Between Them
Start with shockwave for first 6 sessions. Add PRP if symptoms persist. Both have strong evidence — combination protocols often work best.
FAQ
