COMPEX can treat this injury following this protocol
La Plantar fascia It is the thick tissue on the sole of the foot. This tissue connects the calcaneus to the fingers and creates the arch of the foot. When this tissue becomes inflamed or swollen, it is called plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue on the sole of the foot is stretched or overloaded too much. This can be painful and make walking more difficult.
You are more likely to have plantar fasciitis if:
Plantar fasciitis is seen in both men and women; however, it almost always affects active men between 40 and 70 years and is one of the most common orthopedic complaints of the foot.
It was often thought that plantar fasciitis was caused by a spur in the heel; however, research has determined that this is not the case. On radiographs, heel spurs are seen in people with and without plantar fasciitis.
The most common symptom is pain and stiffness in the lower part of the heel. Pain there may be dull or sharp. The sole of the foot can also hurt or present burning.
The pain is usually worse:

a) small electrode at the level of the internal malleolus (space between the Achilles tendon and the malleolus)
b) large electrode (if there is a lot of pain) on the sole of the foot (under the calcaneus)
c) Intensity: reaching the tingling sensation.
d) Frequency: Tens 10 'rest program + Tens program every day for 5 days.
