简要总结
Plantar fasciitis is a common painful condition. It accounts for 10-15% of all foot painful conditions. Recently, Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) was used as an effective method in treatment of different musculoskeletal disorders. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) is a relatively recent treatment option that has shown benefits in a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders.
