Radial Shockwave for Heel Pain
Do you suffer from chronic heel pain? Is walking barefoot on hardwood floors almost impossible? Do the first few steps after sitting or standing up in the morning stab like crazy? If so, you may benefit from Shockwave Therapy. Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment protocol used for the treatment of chronic heel pain.
What Can Cause Heel Pain?
A leading cause of chronic heel pain is plantar fasciitis. The fascia is a visco-elastic band on the bottom of your foot that connects to your heel. Most often due to biomechanical issues with your foot and ankle, and compounded by repetitive stepping or bad footwear, the fascia can be strained and becomes inflamed, granulated, and adherent.
What Are Shockwaves?
Radial shockwaves are mechanical, non-electric micro sonic booms that work by breaking down scar tissue-adhesions, increasing circulation, stimulating new blood vessel growth and driving stem cell migration to the affected area. Shockwaves have been clinically shown to be a viable treatment option for chronic heel pain, with virtually no side effects.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Radial Shockwave Therapy sessions are short, most not lasting more than 10-15 minutes. All Shockwave treatments at Capilano are provided on a one-to-one personalized basis by registered physical therapists, who have had a minimum of six years of university training. Most heel pain conditions are resolved after 3-5 RSWT sessions, And best of all, there is no down time associated with the treatment protocol.
