Summary

The aim of the present study will be the implementation of two protocols in plantar fasciitis individuals: a) percutaneous neuromodulation, b) percutaneous electrolysis in plantar fascia. Authors hypothesized that percutaneous neuromodulation may have benefits in: pain, quality of life, muscular structure.

Conditions

• Plantar Fascitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Percutaneous neuromodulation in tibial nerve	The procedure consisted in the application of a square wave biphasic electrical current, with 2-4 Hz frequency, 450 μs pulse during 25 minutes with a needle (0.30mm x 40 mm) inserted proximal to the surface on the tibial nerve.
OTHER	Percutaneous electrolysis	The procedure consist on placed a needle (0.30mm x 40 mm) on the most hyperalgesic plantar fascia location with a galvanic current of 3mA, 3 times during 3 seconds. 1 time per weeK
