Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Heal the heel — without another cortisone injection.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment is a non-surgical program for chronic heel pain and plantar fascia injuries. Dr. Kanyon Smith combines Sanuwave shockwave therapy to stimulate fascia repair with foot-mechanics correction and calf and arch rehab — so the tissue actually heals and the mechanics that overloaded it change.

How It Works
Your plantar fasciitis program, step by step.
01
Foot & gait exam
Dr. Smith evaluates the heel, arch, calf, and gait pattern to confirm what's driving the pain.
02
Shockwave to the fascia
Sanuwave acoustic-wave therapy is applied along the plantar fascia to trigger tissue repair.
03
Calf & arch rehab
Targeted stretching and strengthening for the calf, intrinsic foot muscles, and ankle so the fascia stops absorbing every step.
04
Footwear & load coaching
Practical guidance on shoes, orthotics (short-term), and gradual return to running, hiking, or long days on your feet.
