SHOCKWAVE TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR HEEL PAIN AND ACHILLES TENDONITIS AT OUR CLINIC

Radial Pulse Shockwave Therapy is an FDA cleared technology proven to increase the rate of healing for soft tissue injuries and for the relief of painful conditions of the foot and ankle.  It is the most advanced non-invasive and highly effective treatment method that enhances blood circulation, accelerates the healing process causing damaged tissue to gradually regenerate and heal.

How does RSWT work?

When you experience chronic pain, your body no longer recognizes that there is an injury to that area. Therefore it shuts down the healing process and you feel no relief. The ballistic sound waves penetrate deep through your soft tissue, causing a micotrauma or new inflammatory condition to the treated area. Once this occurs, it then triggers your body's natural healing response once again. The energy emitted also causes the cells in the soft tissue to release certain biochemicals that intensify the body's natural healing process. These biochemicals allow for the building of an array of new microscopic blood vessels in the soft tissue. This treatment is highly effective for conditions such as Achilles tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, and other tendon and soft tissue disorders in the foot.

How is RSWT performed?

The system is a small machine with an applicator that looks like an ultrasound. It is administered once a week for a series of 4 to 5 treatments. Each treatment takes approximately 5 minutes depending on the size and number of areas treated.

All treatments are performed by experienced Podiatrists. The doctor applies the applicator to the foot and administers the ballistic waves by moving over the affected area in a very slow, circular motion. During the treatment there may be some minor discomfort. Painful areas are helpful in isolating the truly injured areas.

How is RSWT performed?

RSWT has a proven success rate that is equal to or greater than that of traditional treatment methods, including surgery, without the risks, complications, and lengthy recovery periods. There are no incisions and no risk of infection, or scar tissue, like surgery.

There is no need for anesthesia to be administered during the treatment, as opposed to high-energy shockwave therapy. Patients treated with RSWT may bear weight on the foot immediately and resume normal activities the same day. Many patients find a significant and immediate reduction in their pain. Some patients will feel results gradually after each treatment.
