Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for acute and chronic heel pain.
It is typically used to treat the pain associated with heel spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and other conditions.
A podiatrist directs low frequency sound waves, also known as shock waves, at the injured area through a hand held applicator. The shock waves penetrate deep into the soft tissues, stimulating blood flow, accelerating the body’s natural healing process. Generally four treatments over four weeks are needed in our office, each lasting about 15 minutes.
Usually three treatment sessions are necessary and are performed once every 7-10 days. If you are improving after the first three treatments but are not yet pain free, up to 5 treatments may be necessary.
no risks or side effects
you should avoid all anti-inflammatory medication for at least two weeks prior to the procedure and four weeks afterward. This includes over the counter medication such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), Naproxen (Aleve) and aspirin. Your doctor will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions.
NOT TO BE USED IF YOU have deep venous thrombosis or malignancy. It is also best to avoid the procedure if you are taking blood thinners like aspirin or other .
