Shockwave Therapy in Huntington

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to target and treat musculoskeletal pain. At Kalmar Family Podiatry, we utilize the Zimmer EnPuls 2.0 Pro, the latest and most advanced technology, to ensure effective and comfortable treatment. This therapy works by stimulating tissue regeneration, increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation in the affected area.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave Therapy:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Achilles Tendinitis
• Tendinitis
• Morton’s Neuroma
• Stump Neuroma
• Heel Spur
• Heel Pain
• Chronic Wounds
• Acute and Chronic Pain

Shockwave Therapy for Acute and Chronic Pain:

Shockwave therapy is highly effective in managing both acute and chronic pain conditions. Its ability to stimulate healing at a cellular level makes it a powerful tool for pain relief.

• Acute Pain: For acute injuries like sprains or strains, shockwave therapy can accelerate the healing process, reducing pain and improving recovery time.
• Chronic Pain: In chronic conditions, such as arthritis or long-standing tendinitis, shockwave therapy can provide significant pain relief by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. It offers a non-invasive alternative to manage pain without the need for surgery or medication.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy:

• High Success Rate: Studies show a 70-85% success rate in pain reduction and improved function.
• Non-Invasive: Avoid surgery, its risks, and lengthy recovery times.
• Accelerated Healing: Stimulates the body’s natural healing processes.
• Reduced Pain: Provides quick and lasting pain relief.
• Improved Mobility: Helps restore range of motion and function.
• Minimal Side Effects: Side effects are rare and typically mild.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Work?

The Zimmer EnPuls 2.0 Pro delivers high-energy shockwaves to the targeted area. These shockwaves trigger a cascade of beneficial effects, including:

• Release of Local Growth Factors: Promotes tissue repair and regeneration.
• Recruitment of Stem Cells: Enhances the body’s natural healing capabilities.
• Tissue Regeneration: Stimulates the growth of healthy tissue.
• New Blood Vessel Formation: Improves blood flow to the injured site, delivering essential nutrients.
• Stimulation of Collagen Growth: Strengthens and repairs damaged tissues.
• Disruption of Scar Tissue: Breaks down scar tissue that can contribute to pain and stiffness.
