Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)

Don’t let foot pain rule your life!

Do you find you are constantly in pain? Millions of people suffer from pain, if you are one of them you know how unbearable it can be. Chronic pain is often caused by inflammation, stiffening and calcification or strain on muscles and tendons.  Total Foot Health is now able to offer a therapy to help fight and relieve the cause of pain without the need for injections, medications or surgery. This treatment is known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT).

Typical problems that we treat with ESWT include:
CHRONIC HEEL PAIN / PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Painful, mostly chronic inflammation of the heel
ACHILLES TENDONITIS
Painful irritation of the Achilles tendon
INFLAMMATION OF THE ACHILLES TENDON ATTACHMENT
Due to over exertion, improper strain or degenerative processes

ESWT works by producing high energy shock waves and delivers them to the tissue, via the surface of the skin. This activates self-healing processes where the pain occurs by improving the blood circulation. ESWT encourages the formation of new blood vessels resulting in improved metabolism which, in turn, activates cell generation and helps to heal damaged tissues. The cause of chronic pain may be eliminated even in a short period of time.

Most patients find considerable relief from their pain in about 8-10 days after the first application.  You will probably need three short sessions of consecutive ESWT. Each session lasts no more than a few minutes and following the treatment self-healing will continue.
You can then hopefully enjoy a quality of life you thought you would never have again -
LIFE WITHOUT FOOT PAIN!
