At Cherrywood Foot Care, we understand how debilitating chronic heel pain can be, especially when it interferes with your daily activities. That’s why we offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), a noninvasive treatment designed to help alleviate pain associated with plantar fasciitis. This method utilizes sonic waves directed at the painful area, promoting healing and recovery.

What is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy?

ESWT is ideal for individuals who have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for six months or longer and haven’t found relief through other conservative treatments. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and can be done under local or twilight anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Strong sound waves penetrate the heel area, stimulating your body’s natural healing response. Since ESWT is performed on an outpatient basis, you can return home shortly after, although we recommend arranging for a ride.

Who is a Candidate for ESWT?

While many patients benefit from this treatment, ESWT may not be suitable for everyone. Pregnant women, individuals with neurological or vascular foot diseases, those with pacemakers, and patients on blood-thinning medications should consult with our team to determine if this therapy is right for them.

Why Choose ESWT for Heel Pain?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy offers a safe and effective alternative for treating heel pain with minimal recovery time. Clinical studies indicate a remarkable 70% success rate for those suffering from plantar fasciitis. If you’re tired of living with chronic heel pain, ESWT could be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Take the First Step Towards Pain Relief

Don’t let heel pain hold you back any longer. At Cherrywood Foot Care, we are dedicated to providing you with comprehensive foot care solutions. Our team is here to educate you on preventive measures and guide you through your treatment options.

Dr Oza is a wonderful Doctor. She listens and explains things and I feel comfortable and confident with her. The front desk could be a little more welcoming. But, its a great practice and I definitely would recommend anyone who needs their service.
