Can shockwave therapy cure my heel pain?

 

A: Shockwave therapy, short for Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy, has been used in Europe for many years prior to emerging in the US as a treatment for musculoskeletal inflammation such as heel pain. They come in a number of different wavelengths and intensities, which determine the number of treatments and whether anesthesia is necessary.

Shockwave therapy works by sending thousands of shockwaves into the area of injury over a short period of time. This physically breaks up inflammation and increases the blood flow to the injured area. This provides resources to the heel and allows for recovery, usually in a 6 week timeframe.
