If you are limping around with foot pain or have chronic
aching feet – this can indicate a bigger health problem needing attention now.

The simple prescription of daily walking can do wonders for your health; but if walking and standing cause you pain and discomfort, then walking really isn’t your friend and you need to get to the bottom of this! Muscle cramping, neuropathy, mechanical foot pain, foot drop and arthritic conditions should be diagnosed and treated before little problems become big problems.

Proper assessment of your gait (the way you walk) and a comprehensive foot exam including biomechanics, sensory, circulation, range of motion and muscle strength can reveal a lot of information to get you well on your way to increasing your daily foot steps which will assist in increasing your health and outlook.

Get your feet checked today; your future healthy self will thank you!

Most importantly, know it is possible to halt progression to the more destructive Risk Categories which encompass ulcers. amputations and the dreaded Charcot foot.

For the past 20 years, Shock Wave Therapy has been used, with great success, as an effective and non-invasive treatment of a number of chronic musculoskeletal conditions including: 

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Chronic Tendonitis including Achilles Tendonitis
• Shoulder Bursitis
• Chronic Cervical and Lumbar Pain
• Epicondylitis
• Hallux Limitus
• Chronic Heel Spurs
• Painful Peripheral Neuropathy

 

• A Shock Wave is a longitudinal acoustic wave travelling with ultrasonic speed in the water of the body tissue.  This single pressure pulse with a short needle-like positive spike of less than 1 microsecond.

 

• Shock Wave Therapy works to disrupt chronic pain by introducing a healing shock into the system which promotes increased vascularity, stimulates tissue healing, reduces calcification in the tissues, increases local anti-inflammatory products and inhibits pain receptors to achieve pain relief.

 

• Researchers have shown that the local delivery of Shock Wave Therapy stimulates the early expression of angiogenesis-related growth factors, including endothelial nitric oxide synthase, vascular endothelial growth factor and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. As such, it results in new vessel in-growth that improves blood supply, increases cell proliferation and accelerates tissue regeneration and healing!
