ESWT

What is ESWT?

ESWT is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy sound waves to promote healing in soft tissues. During the procedure, a handheld device delivers targeted pulses to the injured area. These shockwaves stimulate blood flow, improve tissue repair, and can reduce chronic pain.

How Can ESWT Help Your Feet and Ankles?

ESWT is a safe and effective treatment for various foot and ankle conditions, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis: This common condition causes heel pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament that supports the arch of your foot.
• Achilles Tendinopathy: Pain and inflammation of the Achilles tendon, located at the back of your ankle.
• Calcaneal Spur: A bony protrusion on the heel bone that can irritate surrounding tissues.
• Morton’s Neuroma: A thickened nerve in the forefoot that can cause pain, numbness, and burning.

Benefits of ESWT:

• Non-invasive: No needles or incisions are required.
• Minimally Painful: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment.
• Faster Recovery: ESWT can accelerate healing and reduce pain more quickly than traditional therapies.
• Safe and Effective: ESWT has a well-established safety profile with minimal side effects.

Is ESWT Right for You?

If you are experiencing chronic foot or ankle pain that has not responded to conservative treatments, ESWT may be a suitable option. Consulting with a podiatrist or other qualified healthcare professional can help determine if ESWT is the right choice for your specific condition.
