Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical efficacy on the treatment of plantar fasciitis in soldiers by extracorporeal shock wave combined with traditional Chinese medicine foot bath.Methods 192 patients with fascial fasciitis,who were admitted to the department of rehabilitation medicine from March 2021 to March 2022 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,96 cases in each group.The patients of both groups were treated by extracorporeal shock wave.All the same time,the observation group was given traditional Chinese medicine foot bath.The VAS scores and clinical outcomes of patients were compared in the two groups before and 1 and 3 months after treatment.Results After 1 and 3 months of treatment,the pain scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,and the observation group was superior to the control group[(1.71±1.37)pionts vs.(2.56±1.22)pionts,(1.01±0.89)pionts vs.(2.13±1.56)pionts],the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The clinical effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group(95.83%vs.91.67%),and the long-term effect was better than that of the control group(100%vs.95.83%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Extracorporeal shock wave combined with traditional Chinese medicine foot bath can reduce the pain of patients with plantar fasciitis,improve local blood circulation,lasting effect and low recurrence rate.
