Extracorpeal Shockwave Therapy, or ESWT, is an FDA approved treatment for tendinopathies like Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles’ Tendonitis.  The technology was derived from a therapy known as lithotripsy.  Lithotripsy uses similar shockwaves to pulverize kidney stones.

If you suffer from chronic heel pain, ESWT may be the answer you’re looking for.  It is performed in the office, without the need for anesthesia, by one of our foot and ankle specialists.

To find out more about your treatment options for Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles’ Tendonitis, contact our office and make an appointment to see one of our doctors.  Dr. Marciano, owner of Academy Foot and Ankle Specialists, was one the first practioners in Texas to utilize the technology.  He also trained other providers on the Shockwave Therapy.  Don’t suffer with heel pain!  Make an appointment today and let us help you get back on your feet!
