Shock Wave Therapy

SHOCK WAVE FOR HEEL PAIN & TENDONITIS

Many patients come to our office with heel pain, Achilles tendinitis and multiple types of sports injuries. Shock wave therapy works by using intense pulses of sound waves to break up the scar tissue and increase blood flow to the injured area.  This helps to reduce inflammation, relieve the pain and stimulate the body's own healing processes.

Non-invasive technology for treating foot and ankle pain

The procedure is performed in our PerfectFeetCare Podiatry Centers office and patients experience no down time. 

Focused shock wave therapy: Proven to be highly effective

In the most common indications in practice, therapy with focused shock waves has quick and lasting effects.

Studies show

  • long-term pain relief, often even during or immediately after the treatment,

  • a noticeably positive effect on inflammatory reactions in musculoskeletal discomfort/conditions,

  • very good effects on bone healing, especially also in the treatment of nonhealing fractures and pseudoarthroses

  • as well as in the elimination of calcification in tendons

ESWT expands blood vessels, stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, and thus promotes circulation. An important precondition for supplying the tissue with nutrients and detoxifying it and for rapid healing of diseased, injured, or inflamed tissue structures/of diseased muscle, tendon, or bone tissue.

So, if you're experiencing chronic foot and ankle pain, or if you're suffering from an overuse injury, make an appointment to see PerfectFeetCare Podiatry Centers to determine if you are a candidate for Shock wave Therapy
