What to Expect with Shockwave Therapy
Proven to be effective with over 80% of patients, shockwave therapy is most often applied to patients that may not have found success with other non-invasive treatments. During your procedure, this state-of-the-art device delivers shockwaves, similar to those used in treating kidney stones, to stimulate blood flow to the affected area. This, in turn, promotes healing and can result in reduced pain and inflammation. This safe procedure is an outpatient treatment, with some patients reporting that they began seeing relief with only a single treatment. Dr. Peteros will work closely with you to determine the proper plan to alleviate your symptoms, providing relief from common ailments, such as chronic heel pain, tendinitis, and more.
