Shockwave Therapy is effective for heel pain

Shockwave therapy‘s effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal complaints is one of its key advantages. This is why shockwave therapy is an excellent option for treating heel pain, whether the cause is plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis.

Shockwave therapy is used by the Houston podiatrist to address heel pain. One of the main reasons was to minimize using medicine or injections in managing heel pain. It’s also a good strategy to avoid having to have surgery. And staying away from surgery is most of the time the goal of both the patient and the physician.

Shockwave Therapy for Heel Pain: What Is It?

Shockwave therapy is a treatment that does not require any invasive procedures. Thousands of shockwaves are transmitted to the affected area during treatment. Blood flow to the injured area is increased as a result of the treatment. Increased blood flow provides your body with everything it requires to restore itself. In a nutshell, we’re letting your body to heal itself. That is critical. It isn’t a short-term fix like medication or a cortisone injection. True tissue healing is made possible by this.

What Can I Expect from Shockwave Therapy?

Our Houston office provides shockwave therapy treatments. Each treatment takes less than ten minutes. There is no need for anesthetic. The majority of people say the procedure is painless. Some people compare the sensation to someone repeatedly snapping a rubber band, which can be quite irritating.

There is a lot to like about shockwave therapy. You can go in and leave as soon as you finish. You may immediately return to work or school following the procedure. In most circumstances, you can return to exercise and athletics right away. There is no need for immobility. Crutches are not required. There is no need for bandages. There are no strange-looking surgical shoes required for this treatment.

There are no prerequisites for undergoing shockwave therapy. This treatment is successful regardless of how long you’ve suffered from heel pain.  Other options for treating your heel pain include medication or cortisone injections. If the pain does not go away, we can always use shockwave therapy. If the pain comes back, we can use it as well.

How to Schedule Shockwave Therapy

You owe it to yourself to try shockwave therapy if you’ve been suffering from heel pain and can’t seem to get ahead of it. Shockwave therapy does not require a separate appointment. The unit is constantly available at DeNiel Foot & Ankle Center to provide you with an on-the-spot treatment.
