Effective, Non-Invasive Treatment of Chronic Heel Spurs, Plantar fasciitis & Achilles tendonitis

Extracorporeal Radial Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) represents the application of a high-energy acoustic pulse transmitted into the tissue for the treatment of chronic and sub-acute pain. Shockwaves act on the tissue to break up scarring or calcific deposits that may have penetrated tendons and ligaments. This controlled re-injury of the area allows the body to use its natural healing process to regenerate new healthy tissue resulting in faster healing and return to activity. Shockwave therapy is also effective in eliminating pain by stimulating the release of substances that help block pain.

Shockwave therapy requires three treatments 7-10 days apart for optimal results. A shockwave applicator is passed over the injured area with the treatment lasting for 5 to 10 minutes. The Shockwave treatments may feel slightly uncomfortable, but has been well tolerated my most people. Most patients feel significant results after only the first treatment.

Shockwave therapy is an excellent alternative for people with chronic and sub-acute pain that have exhausted conservative treatments (custom orthotics, orthopedic shoes, physical therapy, etc). It is often used as an option before considering surgery.

Please contact the Mount Joy Foot Clinic & Orthotic Centre for more information or any questions that you may have regarding this treatment option.
