Shockwave and Pain Management

Understanding Shockwave Therapy

At We Fix Feet, we're always on the forefront of innovative treatments that deliver relief and improve quality of life. Shockwave Therapy is a standout example, offering a non-invasive, highly effective solution for chronic pain and mobility issues. This treatment utilizes high-energy sound waves—both focused and radial types—to target and alleviate discomfort in specific areas.

What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?

Shockwave Therapy is versatile, effective in treating a variety of foot and leg conditions:

• Plantar Fasciitis

• Achilles Tendonitis

• Stress Fractures

• Sprains and Strains

These conditions benefit from the therapy's ability to reduce pain and enhance mobility, providing a significant quality of life improvement for sufferers.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

The magic of Shockwave Therapy lies in its mechanism of action. By inducing microtrauma in the targeted area, it kickstarts the body’s natural healing response. This process involves:

• Stimulation of Growth Factors: Promoting tissue regeneration and healing.

• Increased Blood Flow: Reducing inflammation and alleviating pain.

The Benefits of Shockwave Therapy at We Fix Feet

Shockwave Therapy is not only effective but also comes with multiple advantages making it a preferred treatment option:

• Pain Relief: It's particularly effective in reducing the chronic pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis.

• Quick Healing: Accelerates natural healing processes for faster recovery.

• Non-Invasive: Avoids the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.

• No Need for Medication: Reduces the dependency on medications and their potential side effects.

How We Administer Shockwave Therapy

Our podiatrists at We Fix Feet are skilled in the application of Shockwave Therapy. Here’s how we integrate it into your care:

1. Patient Assessment: We thoroughly evaluate your condition and medical history.

2. Customized Treatment Plan: If Shockwave Therapy is suitable, we'll craft a tailored treatment approach.

3. Administering Therapy: Using a shockwave gun, we direct acoustic waves into the affected area to stimulate healing.

Treatment Experience and Follow-Up

Each session typically lasts around 30 minutes, with most patients experiencing significant improvement shortly after treatment. The non-invasive nature of the therapy allows for an immediate return to daily activities, and we generally recommend a series of treatments for best results.

Following therapy, we might suggest exercises or other interventions to support and extend the benefits of the treatment.
