SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Shockwave Therapy is now available at Foot and Ankle Care NYC. Shockwave Therapy is the latest non-invasive, non-surgical, FDA-cleared breakthrough procedure used to treat Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, and much more. 

​

What is Shockwave Therapy?
 

Shockwave treatment or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a safe, non-invasive and highly effective treatment to treat heel pain or pain from Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Heel Spurs, Shin Splints, Tendonitis, and much more. 

 

ESWT reduces pain and sensitivity by delivering sound waves to the injured area. These high-speed, high-pressue sound waves accelerate the body's healing process by stimulating the growth of new tissue cells.

What is treatment like?

Patients may experience slight discomfort however, the treatment is relatively pain-free. Our team of podiatrists can adjust the soundwave applicator’s intensity to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Treatment sessions last for an average of only 15 minutes and do not require anesthesia, hospital admission, or lengthy rehabilitation. The number of sessions recommended will depend on the severity of the pain. On average, the typical patient can expect approximately four to eight treatments.
