Plantar Fasciitis Patients Find Relief with Shockwave Therapy in Cumming, GA

Shockwave Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis: How Cumming, GA Patients Are Finding Relief Without Surgery

Cumming, United States – May 1, 2026 / Empower Sports Chiropractic /

CUMMING, Ga., May 1, 2026 — With spring athletic activity increasing the prevalence of plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy across the North Atlanta area, Empower Sports Chiropractic in Cumming, Georgia, is reporting consistent patient improvements through shockwave therapy in cases where conventional conservative care had not provided lasting relief. The sports chiropractic clinic is led by Dr. Jared Croskey, team chiropractor for Georgia Tech Football, whose treatment approach targets the underlying tissue pathology rather than symptom management. As demand for non-surgical alternatives grows across Forsyth County, more patients are seeking the FDA-cleared modality in lieu of cortisone injections or invasive procedures.

Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy are among the most persistent soft-tissue injuries affecting athletes and active adults in the North Atlanta area. Both conditions involve a progressive degeneration of connective tissue that resists healing through rest, orthotics, or medication alone, often trapping patients in cycles of temporary relief followed by recurring pain.

“Most patients who come to us have already been through the standard playbook—rest, stretching, injections—and nothing has held,” said Dr. Jared Croskey, D.C., ATC, founder of Empower Sports Chiropractic. “What we’re doing is treating the root cause, not the symptom. That’s a fundamentally different approach.”

Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic wave energy directly to the site of the injury, activating the body’s natural cellular repair process without needles, anesthesia, or surgical recovery time. The treatment is approved by the FDA and backed by increasing research showing that many patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, who didn’t get better with other treatments, have seen significant improvement.

Patients at Empower Sports Chiropractic typically complete three to six sessions, with many reporting measurable improvements in pain levels and functional mobility within the first two to three treatments. Those in Cumming, Alpharetta and Forsyth County can determine whether they are candidates for shockwave therapy at Empower Sports Chiropractic through a direct consultation—no physician referral required.

The clinic serves competitive athletes, recreational runners, high school sports participants, and working adults seeking to stay active without invasive procedures. Empower Sports Chiropractic accepts HSA and FSA payments and operates on a transparent, cash-based pricing model with no insurance billing requirements.

For Dr. Croskey, consistent patient outcomes are rooted in treating the underlying tissue pathology rather than managing symptoms—a philosophy shaped by years of working with competitive athletes who cannot afford extended time away from training or competition.

“Most patients in our area don’t realize a non-surgical option like this exists,” Croskey said. “If chronic heel or tendon pain has been limiting you, it’s worth a consultation to find out if you’re a candidate.”

Individuals in Forsyth County and surrounding North Atlanta communities who are managing chronic foot, heel, or tendon pain are encouraged to schedule a consultation directly with Empower Sports Chiropractic.
