Are you a senior and wondering why you can’t walk for longer than 15 minutes?

Are you a senior and wondering why you can’t walk for longer than 15 minutes? After that you get leg weakness, numbing in your feet and hip pain that makes you sit down?

You probably have undiagnosed Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (AKA Shopping Cart Syndrome) which is a narrowing (squeezing) of the blood supply to the nerves that travel from the spine down to your feet. The cause is from degeneration (arthritis) in your low back and you will generally have a better blood supply to these nerves when you walk bent forward over a shopping cart.

SHOCK WAVE THERAPY:

Picture
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!

What is Foot Drop? Is it a disease?

Foot drop is a general term for difficulty lifting the front part of the foot.

If you have foot drop, the front of your foot might drag on the ground when you walk.

Foot drop isn’t a disease; rather it is a sign of an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical problem.

Foot drop also puts extra stress on the hips and knees by forcing
them to bend early in the gait cycle so that the toes clear the ground to avoid tripping over them.

Thankfully there is new technology with foot drop braces to help with walking and mobility.

Please call today for a full assessment to see if you would benefit!
