Chronic heel pain isn’t just inflammation.
Plantar fasciitis is often a degenerative tissue problem — which means it needs stimulation, not just stretching.

Focused Shockwave Therapy increases blood flow, activates collagen production, and helps restart the healing process inside the plantar fascia.

No injections.
No surgery.
No masking the pain.

If mornings hurt or workouts feel limited, it’s time to treat the source.

Shockwave can dramatically help reduce shoulder pain and help rotator cuff injuries heal faster.

We explain why isometric exercises are more effective for painful or injured tendons. We discuss how healthy tendons can handle any type of exercise, but when tendons are damaged or partially torn, isometric holds for 30-40 seconds allow force to distribute evenly throughout the tendon, including the injured areas. This targeted stimulus promotes regeneration and healing in the damaged regions, making isometric exercises the ideal choice for tendon recovery.

Most heel pain isn’t inflammation anymore… it’s a tissue problem. And that changes how you treat it. Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems in adults. Studies estimate that about 1 in 10 people will experience plantar fasciitis or chronic heel pain at some point in their lives, and over 2 million Americans seek treatment for it every year.

The problem is that heel pain often isn’t just inflammation—it’s usually a degenerative tendon and fascia issue, which is why rest, stretching, or inserts alone don’t always solve it.

That’s where focused shockwave therapy comes in.

Focused shockwave works by:
• Stimulating blood flow to tissue that doesn’t heal well on its own
• Activating the body’s natural repair process
• Helping break the chronic pain cycle and improve function
• Allowing patients to stay active while healing

At Adisi Health Center in Hinsdale, we use advanced focused shockwave technology to target the root cause of heel pain—not just mask symptoms—so patients can get back to walking, training, and living without that first-step-in-the-morning pain.

If heel pain has been lingering for weeks or months, it’s a sign the tissue may need help healing—not just more rest.

Why Rest Alone Won’t Fix Your Tendon Problems: The Isometric Exercise Solution. We explain why tendons need more than just rest to heal, and we show you the best exercise to fix tendon problems. We discuss isometric exercises—movements where there’s no joint movement but you control tension for 30-45 seconds at about 70% intensity. We demonstrate using a table as an example, doing 3-4 sets with 90-second rest periods between them. This approach applies the right stimulus for tendon growth and regeneration without risk.

7000 steps to reduce risk. Seems like a no brainer.

Why Rest Alone Won’t Fix Your Tendon Pain. We explain why rest alone doesn’t work for chronic tendon pain. Tendons have poor blood supply and slow metabolism, so they don’t fully repair like muscles do. When injured, tendon tissue starts to degenerate and break down. While rest helps symptoms temporarily, it doesn’t rebuild the tissue. That’s why chronic tendon pain requires tissue-level stimulation, not just time off.

We discuss how to avoid neck pain by improving your workstation ergonomics. I explain that monitor height is crucial—your screen should be at eye level to prevent downward gazing and neck strain. We cover two key adjustments: elevating a low monitor using books or a monitor stand, and ensuring your primary monitor is positioned straight ahead rather than at an angle. If you use dual monitors, keep your main computer centered and use the secondary monitor for reference documents. These simple changes can instantly reduce neck stiffness and tightness caused by poor posture throughout the day.

How Shockwave Therapy Saved My Patient $10,000 and Avoided SurgeryWe discuss how we helped a patient avoid surgery by using shockwave therapy instead of going under the knife. She was experiencing morning pain and couldn’t walk her dog or play tennis—activities she loved. After trying physical therapy, cortisone injections, and dry needling without success, we discovered that shockwave therapy was the right solution. Using high-energy sound waves to stimulate damaged tissue, we completed six treatment sessions that allowed her to return to all her normal activities and cancel her scheduled surgery.
