The Brieloff Foot Centers is excited to be able to offer ESWT "shockwave" therapy for the treatment of chronic heel pain and chronic Achilles tendon pain.
What is ESWT? ESWT, or extracorporeal shock wave therapy, is an innovative non-invasive method for the treatment of localized musculoskeletal pain such as chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciits and chronic Achilles tendon pain. This is a non-surgical treatment that can actually stimulate the body's own repair mechanisms and help relieve pain.
There are very few side effects or risks with this treatment, which takes only about 20 or 30 minutes and is performed in our office under a local anesthesia. No crutches or special braces are needed afterwards, there are no incisions and no time missed from work.
Contact Dr. Brieloff at the Brieloff Foot Center today to see if you might be a candidate for shock wave therapy for your heel pain.
