Used for heel pain, shockwave therapy stimulates and reactivates healing to encourage normal tissue healing. Additionally, shockwaves help to over-stimulate pain transmission nerves, which can lead to a reduction in sensitivity and pain.
Orthospec ESWT System for Chronic Heel Pain
Orthospec therapy is a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgical treatments. Because the procedure is a treatment method that applies acoustic energy to the heel tissue from out side the body, it offers many advantages over surgery, including:
Significantly lower complication rates
Faster recovery time and earlier return to normal activity
Improved quality of life for patients unwilling or unable to undergo surgery
Lower healthcare cost due to simplicity of the procedure, low complication rate, and decreased productivity losses
No anesthesia required - reduces patient complication rate
No imaging device required - enables straightforward positioning
Procedure can easily be performed in an office setting
