Plantar Fasciitis Relief with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy in Winston-Salem at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

Discover a Breakthrough Non-Surgical Solution for Heel and Foot Pain

If you wake up in the morning with sharp heel pain or experience discomfort after walking or standing for long periods, you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis. This common yet frustrating condition affects millions of people each year, interfering with mobility, work, exercise, and overall quality of life.

Fortunately, there’s a scientifically proven, non-surgical solution: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT), now offered by Dr. John Stoetzel and the team at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC.


What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation and microtearing of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes and supports the arch of the foot. Overuse, stress, or injury can cause this tissue to become irritated and inflamed, resulting in chronic heel and foot pain.


Common Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

  • Repetitive impact from running, walking, or standing

  • Flat feet, high arches, or improper footwear

  • Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon

  • Obesity or weight gain

  • Jobs or sports that require prolonged standing or jumping

  • Poor biomechanics or altered gait patterns


Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

  • Sharp, stabbing heel pain, especially with your first steps in the morning

  • Pain that worsens after long periods of standing or activity

  • Tenderness at the bottom of the foot near the heel

  • Stiffness in the arch and heel

  • Discomfort that flares after rest, then eases with movement

Plantar fasciitis is notoriously stubborn and often resists traditional treatments like stretching, rest, medication, or orthotics. That’s where SoftWave Therapy comes in.


How SoftWave Therapy Heals Plantar Fasciitis Naturally

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that travel over 3,000 mph to penetrate deep into the foot tissue and stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

This non-invasive therapy promotes:

  • Tissue regeneration

  • Pain reduction

  • Inflammation control

  • Improved circulation and oxygenation

  • Long-term healing and recovery


The Science Behind SoftWave for Plantar Fasciitis Relief

SoftWave doesn’t just mask the pain—it heals the root cause of the inflammation by initiating cellular repair and regeneration.

Here’s how it works:

  • VEGF and eNOS Activation
    Enhances angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) to restore blood flow and oxygen to the damaged fascia

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration
    Signals resident stem cells to move to the injured plantar fascia and begin tissue repair

  • PCNA and BMP Expression
    Boosts cellular proliferation and collagen synthesis to rebuild connective tissue strength and elasticity

  • Toll-Like Receptor Modulation
    Helps regulate the body’s inflammatory pathways, reducing pain and irritation in the foot

  • Senescent Cell Clearance
    Removes aging and non-functioning cells that slow healing and contribute to chronic tissue breakdown

The result? Less pain, more movement, and a return to your daily activities—without the need for injections, medications, or surgery.


Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Heel Pain

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic, patients suffering from plantar fasciitis report:

  • Decreased heel and arch pain

  • Improved ability to walk, run, or stand for long periods

  • Reduced dependence on pain medications and orthotics

  • Faster recovery from flare-ups or chronic inflammation

  • Avoidance of corticosteroid injections or surgery

Even long-term sufferers and athletes are finding relief after completing their SoftWave therapy protocols.
