Shockwave Therapy - Advanced Injury & Pain Recovery

Many patients come to Trieu Foot Solutions with heel pain, Achilles tendinitis and multiple types of sports injuries. What may help is a treatment called Shockwave Therapy.  It works by using intense pulses of sound waves to break up the scar tissue and increase blood flow to the injured area.  This helps to reduce inflammation, relieve the pain and stimulate the body's own healing processes.

The procedure is performed in our office, and patients experience no down time.  After the treatment, many patients experience immediate relief from their symptoms which continues to improve with subsequent treatments over a 3-5 week period. We see a high level of successful outcomes using shockwave especially when traditional conservative treatments have not been effective.

Focused shockwave therapy (Zimmer MedizinSysteme):
Proven to be highly effective

In the most common indications in orthopaedic practice, therapy with focused shock waves has quick and lasting effects.

• long-term pain relief, often even during or immediately after the treatment,

• a noticeably positive effect on inflammatory reactions in musculoskeletal discomfort/conditions,

• very good effects on bone healing, especially also in the treatment of nonhealing fractures and pseudoarthroses

• as well as in the elimination of calcification in tendons, for example, in the case of shoulder calcification.

ESWT expands blood vessels, stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, and thus promotes circulation. An important precondition for supplying the tissue with nutrients and detoxifying it and for rapid healing of diseased, injured, or inflamed tissue structures/of diseased muscle, tendon, or bone tissue.
