At Cherrywood Foot Care, we are dedicated to utilizing cutting-edge techniques to address all your family’s foot care needs. One of our most effective treatments for chronic heel pain, including conditions like plantar fasciitis and heel spur syndrome, is extracorporeal shock wave therapy.

What is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy?

This innovative, non-invasive procedure delivers sonic waves directly to the painful area of your heel. Much like the technology used in kidney stone treatment, these sound waves stimulate your body’s natural healing process without the need for surgery.

The Procedure

The therapy session typically lasts around 30 minutes, during which we may use local or twilight anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The best part? This is an outpatient procedure, meaning you won’t need to stay overnight in a hospital.

Benefits of Shock Wave Therapy

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgery for heel pain, usually requiring only a brief recovery time. Plus, it’s often much more affordable than surgery. However, it may not be suitable for every heel pain issue, so a consultation with our trained professionals is essential to determine the best course of action for you.
