Shockwave (EPAT) Therapy to Treat Foot Pain

Non-Invasive Technology For Pain Relief

Many patients come to our podiatry practice, Dr. James Ricketti & Associates, with heel pain, Achilles tendinitis and multiple types of sports injuries. Shockwave therapy uses intense pulses of sound waves to break up the scar tissue and increase blood flow to the injured area. This treatment 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.

Commonly Treated Condition with Shockwave Therapy:

Recovery & Results

After the Shockwave therapy many patients experience immediate relief from their symptoms which continues to improve with subsequent treatments over a 3-5 week period. Our Foot Doctors see a high level of successful outcomes using shockwave especially when traditional conservative treatments have not been effective. Since we treat many athletes, our Foot and Ankle Doctors can really appreciate new non-invasive treatments like shockwave that helps keep my patients out of surgery and back in the game.

If you're experiencing chronic foot and ankle pain, or if you're suffering from an overuse injury, book an appointment to see Dr. James Ricketti & Associates to determine if you are a candidate for Shockwave Therapy.
