Suffering from Heel Pain?

Heel pain is a common problem for people of all ages and is often a 'catch-all term' for any condition that can occur around the heel, often causing chronic discomfort. Conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs can cause pain and inflammation in your foot, often affecting your ability to complete day-to-day activities. Symptoms include pain at the base of the heel, pain when standing up after an extended period of time, or burning and tightness in the arch of the foot.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the ligament running from your heel to the ball or your foot, often caused by overuse, improper shoes or abnormal foot structure. Sufferers often experience pain on the bottom or inside of the heel when standing, often most severe when first standing on the feet in the morning. It is important to consult your podiatrist immediately as this condition will continue to worsen without professional attention and treatment.

Heel Spurs

A Heel Spur is a calcium deposit that develops over time into a sharp bony growth under the heel. As a spur develops the soft tissue in the heel becomes irritated and swells, putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain. Heel spurs are often a result of improper foot movement during walking or running, poorly fitting shoes and excessive body weight.

How Shockwave Therapy Can Help

Shockwave therapy is the latest technology used to treat heel pain, available at The Foot & Ankle Clinic. It is a gentle yet effective treatment for heel pain and can reduce the tenderness of soft tissue injuries in just a few days.

Shock wave therapy involves the application of high energy Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) waves through the surface of the skin to accelerate the healing process, dramatically reduce pain and promote healing. The body responds with increased metabolic activity at the site of the pain, stimulating and accelerating the healing process.

Treatment only takes a few minutes and pain is noticeably reduced in just a few days.

Your Podiatrist will first locate the pain through palpation or ultrasound. They will then mark out the treatment area and apply contact gel. Using the handheld applicator, your Podiatrist will gently deliver the shock wave.

ESWT is used successfully in sports medicine and in daily medical practice worldwide. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in a multitude of clinical studies and has been approved by the FDA.

With no negative side effects, injections or strong medications needed, you will be back on your feet in no time.

Blood flow is essential to male erections. Sexual arousal causes arteries to widen so the penis can engorge with blood, giving it the firmness it needs for vaginal penetration. When there are problems with blood flow, it is difficult to maintain or even achieve an erection.

Contrary to its name, extracorporeal shock wave therapy is completely painless. It uses energy from pulsating acoustic waves to trigger a process called neovascularization, where new blood vessels form and blood flow to the region is improved. It has been used at higher intensities to break up renal stones (lithotripsy), and at lower intensities for musculoskeletal injuries or as a pain-relieving treatment for conditions such as plantar fasciitis.

What is extracorporeal shock wave therapy?

Shock wave therapy is a noninvasive method that uses pressure waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. High-energy acoustic waves (shock waves) deliver a mechanical force to the body’s tissues.

What signs indicate this therapy is needed?

Shock wave therapy may treat conditions such as degenerated tendons (Achilles tendonitis), heel pain (plantar fasciitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).

When should I avoid this therapy?

Complications are infrequent with shock wave therapy. People who have poor sensation (neuropathy) or hypersensitivity in the target area should not have this procedure. Open sores should also be avoided. Shock wave therapy is not used in patients with heart conditions or seizures. It should not be used during pregnancy. This should be discussed with your physician before undergoing the procedure.

General Details of Procedure

A noninvasive probe is applied to the skin. An electrical charge creates an energy wave that is focused on the area of concern. The shock waves create a force on the tissues that may induce healing. It’s not clear why this approach to healing works for some people, but it may be that shock waves cause inflammation and improve blood flow to encourage the body to repair and heal itself.

Specific Technique

Shock wave therapy is an outpatient procedure. A probe is placed on the skin after a gel is applied to help conduct the shock waves. High- or low-energy waves may be used. High-energy waves may cause pain and require a local or regional anesthetic. Low-energy shock wave therapy often is performed without anesthesia. Therapy is more successful with active patient participation where the patient tells the therapist whether or not the probe is at the area of pain. One or more treatment sessions may be needed.

What happens after the procedure?

Patients typically bear weight after treatment. Patients are advised to reduce the level of physical activity for one to two weeks after treatment. Shock wave therapy may give good outcomes for some tendon problems or chronic degenerative conditions. Examples include Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis.
