Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is used to treat chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis/heel spur syndrome). During this non-invasive surgical procedure, sonic waves are directed at the area of pain using a device similar to that currently used in non-surgical treatment of kidney stones. "Extracorporeal" means "outside of the body," and refers to this non-invasive surgical procedure in which strong sound waves are directed at the area of heel pain.

We use both low energy and high energy shock wave to treat heel pain. Low energy shock wave requires three weekly 10 minute procedures performed without any anesthesia or sedation. High energy shock wave is performed in a single visit in our office using a local anesthetic. There is really little to no recovery at all and most all patients do not miss time from work with either procedure.
