Shockwave for Heel Pain

Shockwave for Heel Pain


Heel pain can be severely debilitating for suffering patients.  Many athletes and people with flat feet experience this pain as a result of a common foot condition known as plantar fasciitis.  At our practice, we offer a unique, conservative treatment known as shockwave therapy, or ESWT.  This revolutionary treatment has helped many of our patients find lasting relief from their heel pain.


Shockwave therapy uses high intensity sound waves to increase blood flow and promote your body’s natural healing process.  ESWT has had a very high success rate among our patients.  In the convenience of our office, patients have found lasting relief from even severe heel pain.  In general, patients experience no downtime from work.  It is an excellent treatment for those with plantar fasciitis and heal spur syndrome.  If you are experiencing heel pain, we encourage you to visit our practice and learn more about the benefits of shockwave therapy.

Plantar Warts

Plantar Warts


Plantar warts are small, noncancerous growths that occur on the surface of your skin.  They may be found on the sole, heel or ball of the foot.  This condition is caused by a virus known as HPV, and although it is generally harmless, it can spread from person to person.  Plantar warts can be transmitted when in public pools, gym showers, and other regularly wet surfaces. 


It is important to have any growths on your feet diagnosed.  This is especially true of diabetics and those with weakened immune systems.  If you think you have plantar warts, visit us at our practice.  We offer a variety of treatments, including laser treatment.  After a diagnosis, we can provide you with the treatment that is best suited to relieve your irritation, discomfort and pain.
