Radial Shockwave Therapy

Your feet are in constant chronic pain. You have tried medication, shots, physical therapy, acupuncture and all kinds of different methods to try to keep the pain down. Nothing you have done is working and you are getting desperate. You don’t want to live with the pain and you want peace again. Fortunately you don’t have to lose hope! Radial shockwave therapy may be the right choice for you.

Shockwave therapy is a good alternative if you have tried every other option for pain management. This treatment treats the bones in the body and gets to the core of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms. It loosens any calcium deposits that have built up on the bones and tendons to help the body stimulate the healing process. 

How does it work?

A physiotherapist will use a shockwave applicator to the injured and pained area. Within 24 hours you should notice reduced pain. It usually takes 5 total treatments done every other week in order for the therapy to be effective. Many patients feel some sort of result immediately after their first therapy and many feel the effects long after.

What issues can this be used for?

Has evidence proves this even works?

The 2005 Journal of Orthopedic Research indicated that there was a 90% success rate for patients that suffered from plantar fasciitis. 

What are the side effects of this treatment?

There are minimal side effects that have been reported. In rare cases, soreness and bruising can occur.

Does the therapy hurt?

No, but if you do bruise from the therapy, it may cause a little pain.

Does insurance cover this therapy?

No.
