Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp heel pain with the first steps of the day, treated at the source of the inflamed tissue.
Focused acoustic waves stimulate your body's natural healing in chronic tendon, joint and muscle pain. It's non-invasive, drug-free, and takes only minutes per session.
High-energy acoustic pulses are delivered through a handheld applicator to the painful area, waking up your body's own repair response.
Our doctors examine your pain, history and goals to confirm shockwave is a good fit.
Gel is applied and the applicator is guided to the precise area of tissue that needs attention.
Pulses increase blood flow, break down scar-like tissue and trigger cellular repair.
Most patients return to normal activity right away and build results over a series of visits.
Especially effective for chronic, nagging problems that haven't responded to rest, stretching or medication.

It varies by condition and how long it's been present. Many care plans include a series of sessions spaced about a week apart. Your doctor will build a plan specifically for you.
Some patients feel improvement soon after treatment, while for others the biggest gains build over several weeks as tissue heals. Individual results vary.
Most people resume normal daily activities right away. We may recommend modifying high-impact exercise briefly between sessions.
It isn't appropriate for everyone, including people who are pregnant, have certain bleeding disorders, or have implants or active infection in the treatment area. We screen every patient before treatment.
