shockwave therapy long island

Cherrywood Foot Care– Shockwave Therapy Long Island utilizes the latest, state-of-the-art podiatric techniques and technologies to treat all of your family’s foot care needs. This includes extracorporeal shock wave therapy, a new, proven way to treat chronic heel pain (such as plantar fasciitis/heel spur syndrome).

This unique therapy involves a non-invasive surgical procedure to not only remedy the stinging, painful aches associated with these conditions, but effectively help maintain a comfortable state of foot-and-heel homeostasis.

Cherrywood Foot Care‘s team of foot experts will direct sonic waves at the area of pain using a device similar to the machine used in non-surgical treatment of kidney stones. Extracorporeal literally means “outside of the body,” so there’s absolutely no need for surgery to relieve heel pain. Rather, these sound waves penetrate the heel area and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

This procedure typically last about 30 minutes. We also administer local anesthesia and/or “twilight” anesthesia. The process works. Additionally, it’s performed on an outpatient basis, so no overnight stay in a hospital is necessary.

Shockwave Therapy Long Island is a safe and effective alternative treatment for heel pain and only requires a brief recovery time. Yet another benefit is that it costs much less than invasive surgery. It may not be right for every heel pain problem; a consultation with one of the trained professionals at Cherrywood Foot Care will advise accordingly.

We’re also happy to provide you with more information about this latest therapy and discuss what treatment options might work best for your condition.

At Cherrywood Foot Care, shockwave therapy Long Island,  we make that determination on a patient-by-patient basis following a comprehensive assessment examination that takes into consideration a patient’s symptoms, activities, hobbies, and lifestyle. If orthotics are recommended, they will be custom fabricated specifically for your feet.

Customized orthotics have no substitutes. Specially molded to the precise biomechanical measurements of your feet in order to address the concerns which affect you the most, they are the best solutions to achieve expeditious, long-lasting relief. Over-the-counter, mail-order and orthotics purchasable over the Internet, while at times perhaps easier on the wallet, are in fact harder on your feet in the long run. They are not made to an exact model of your feet and therefore will not properly fit an individual’s unique foot structure. They also have a short longevity, and must be replaced more often. We advise against them.

As mentioned, properly fitting custom orthotics also hold substantial benefits for professional and recreational athletes. Just as orthotics can help alleviate pain, distribute weight and control motion among those with certain foot conditions, so too can they benefit those who are constantly up on their feet and on the go, whether those activities be jogging, sprinting, or a variety of other exercises.

Orthotics have consequently become a significant and ever-growing element of Sports Medicine.

The field of sports medicine encompasses a wide range of sports- and exercise-related ailments and conditions, from physical fitness to the treatment and prevention of injuries. Once a duty relegated primarily to physicians tending to the physical well-being of players on specific sports teams or franchises, sports medicine is now a sought-after specialty comprising a patient base as diverse as the exercising “weekend warrior” all the way up to and including the professional sports player.

At Cherrywood Foot Care, shockwave therapy Long Island , we pride ourselves on being the go-to center for all of your sports- and exercise-related needs, whether that be a sprained ankle from a challenging game of tennis or an Achilles tendon tear from a vigorous run.

Whatever the sport, whatever the injury, Cherrywood’s team of Long Island Podiatrists can help. It doesn’t matter if you are a professional athlete or play sports just for fun, the demands made on your feet and lower limbs are the same, and can lead to a range of injuries, including blisters, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, shin splints, knee pain, lower back pain and other joint or muscle problems. Of course, added to this list are common complaints, such as corns, calluses and Athlete’s Foot.

Your running style, quality of footwear, and even minor limb length differences can contribute to injury. At Cherrywood Foot Care, shockwave therapy Long Island , we have all the solutions you need to not only continue in your sports- and exercise-related pursuits, but quite simply, to excel, in healthy and fulfilling fashion.

Although the best treatment strategy to remedy any sports- and exercise-related injury will have a host of determinant factors which must be evaluated by a trained staff of experts, such as those here at Cherrywood Foot Care, voted best heel pain treatment in Nassau County, the following are several simple, basic tips to get those activities off on the right (and healthiest) foot:

  • Wear only good-quality, well-fitting cotton socks. This will help absorb excess moisture on your feet and in between your toes, helping to prevent the Athlete’s foot and other feet-related fungi.
  • Wear the correct shoes. The proper footwear is just as important as any other piece of sporting equipment and should be considered as much. Sports shoes should protect as much as possible, be durable, and should be the right match for the sport and surface.
  • Get in shape. Being overweight or out of shape places added stress on your feet. Condition yourself gradually with stretching exercises for 15 to 20 minutes (warm-up and cool-down periods) before and after any activity.
  • Wash your feet every day, and dry thoroughly.
  • Know your capabilities and your limitations. Don’t over-exert yourself. Doing so can lead to injury.
  • Stay hydrated. This will ensure your body does not become dehydrated, which will help prevent unnecessary pain and injuries to your muscles and tendons. Doing so will consequently also help prevent other injuries.
