Plantar Fasciitis

Tired of having pain in your feet?

Divergent Health Care has a solution. Divergent has been specializing in treating foot problems such as plantar fasciitis. This is a condition caused by chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia—an area located on the bottom aspect of the foot. We have invested in two unique, innovative, and scientifically advanced treatments to treat this specific condition: the shockwave therapy and the FX 635 laser technology.

Providing Evidence-Based Pain Management In Calgary

New, Innovative Technology

Divergent is the only clinic that has invested in the BTL6000. Not only this, but Divergent is the only Calgary-based clinic that uses the shockwave therapy and the FX 635 laser technology in combination to produce more effective, immediate, and long-lasting results for plantar fasciitis.

Both shockwave and the FX 635 laser equipment are evidence-based treatment options when it comes to treating plantar fasciitis. Research shows 80% of patients notice relief from the procedure. Shockwave comes from the technology lithotripsy a procedure used to treat and break kidney stones. In the case of plantar fasciitis, shockwaves are used to stimulate tissue healing and break up scar tissue, calcification and promote an immune response. The FX 635v laser is used to pinpoint, with absolute precision, the location of the problem, so that the condition can be treated with accuracy and without affecting any other body parts unnecessarily.
