I can't help re the eswt, but most people get great relief from the pain of plantar fascitis/heel spurs simply through arch support. I find the best ones are a really inexpensive elastic wrap that slides on and costs about $10 for 2, you can easily find online. Or you can create a similar facsimilie out of an elastic bandage (cut to size and sew or glue together into a tube shape- make sure it is tight enough to give some lift to the arch.).
Some people also find orthotic inserts helpful but of course that's feasible only if you wear closed shoes.
Night splints that keep your foto flexed will also give much relief but some people have trouble sleeping with them on. .

Sheryl,
Many thanks for your kind words. I have been using orthotics .....in all of my footware for the past 2 years, and more recently heel cups. The inflimation is still there.....I have located an ESWT machine,( @ BNH) and I shall hopefully start this week.
Cheers, Off road
Good luck finding one, they're expensive here.
