Shockwave Therapy

Fix Your Chronic Heel Pain

Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective treatments for heel pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. It is especially helpful in treating chronic conditions which have been unresponsive to other treatments.

 

How Does it Work?

Shockwave therapy is a treatment that sends high pressure sound waves (shockwaves) into the treated tissue. The applicator is held against the skin over the injured area for approximately 4-5 minutes while the unit delivers 2000-2500 pulses of energy. Treatment can cause mild discomfort, and intensity can be adjusted if needed. After treatment the  patient can walk out of the clinic and return to normal activity. There is no down time after each treatment.

Benefits:

  • Reduces pain

  • Promotes healing by stimulating blood vessel formation and collagen production

  • Breaks down scar tissue

  • Non-invasive with no side effects
