Plantar Fasciitis Ultrasound Treatment. Ice is applied in the treatment of plantar fasciitis by ice massage ice bath or in an ice pack. In this single-blinded study 33 patients received 2 treatments that were 4 weeks apart on plantar fascia tissue along with conservative standard of care.
For certain patients focused ultrasound could provide a noninvasive alternative to surgery with less risk of complications such as surgical wound healing or infection at a lower cost. 11 rows The first 3 treatments to the experimental group will be continuous ultrasound with an intensity. Intense therapeutic ultrasound for chronic plantar fasciitis musculoskeletal tissue pain reduction was evaluated in a pivotal clinical trial examining effectiveness safety and patient tolerance.
The primary options for treatment of plantar fasciitis include medication or invasive surgery.
The addition of therapeutic ultrasound did not improve the efficacy of conservative treatment for plantar fasciitis. Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the most common conservative treatment modalities used by physical therapists worldwide despite scarce evidence of its efficacy in treating plantar fasciitis. A randomized controlled clinical study. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Therapeutic Ultrasound is effective in the treatment of Plantar fasciitis PF.
