Treatments with Shockwave Therapy have several advantages

 

  • Non-Invasive: Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option, meaning patients do not undergo the risks and recovery associated with surgery.

  • Pain Reduction: It is effective in reducing pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, including Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, Achilles Tendonitis, Neuromas and more

  • Accelerated Healing: Shock waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, including increased blood flow and the release of growth factors, to accelerate tissue repair.

  • Safe & Effective: Minimal side effects.

 

Common Podiatric Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy

 

  • Plantar Fasciitis: Shockwave therapy is often used as a plantar fasciitis treatment. This is a common condition characterized by heel and arch pain. Shock waves can stimulate the healing process in the inflamed plantar fascia tissue.

  • Achilles Tendonitis: Patients with Achilles tendon issues, such as tendonitis or partial tears, may benefit from Shockwave therapy. The shock waves can help reduce pain and accelerate healing in the Achilles tendon.

  • Heel Spurs: Shockwave therapy can be used to manage pain associated with calcaneal spurs, which are bony growths that can develop on the heel bone.

  • Morton’s Neuroma: For patients with Morton’s neuroma, a painful condition affecting the nerves in the ball of the foot, shockwave therapy can offer relief by reducing inflammation and pain.

  • Chronic Foot Pain: Shockwave therapy may be considered for individuals with chronic foot pain that has not responded well to conservative treatments. It can help alleviate pain and improve mobility.

  • Other Soft Tissue Injuries: Shockwave Therapy can also be used for various soft tissue injuries, such as ligament strains and muscle injuries, in the foot and ankle region.
