Radial Soundwave 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.

During the usually brief procedure of only a few minutes, strong sound waves penetrate the heel area and stimulate a healing response by the body. An overnight hospital stay is not necessary since radial soundwave therapy is performed on an outpatient basis, and does not even require local anesthesia.

This therapy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for heel pain and only requires a very short recovery time, mainly due to the elimination of costly and invasive surgical procedures.Contact us today to discuss the treatment options for this effective procedure.
