CHRONIC HEEL PAIN?
EPAT MAY BE YOUR ANSWER!
Our practice is now offering Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy (EPAT) for the treatment of chronic heel pain, existing for a minimum of 6 months.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatments uses a unique set of pressure waves that generate a vascular response to stimulate and reactivate the body's repair mechanism to promote normal tissue healing. It stimulates neovascularization (development of new blood flow) that appears to play a role in the antiinflammation, pain relief and initiates the regeneration of soft tissue and bone with improvement in the blood supply. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals. Benefits of EPAT are that it is non-invasive, there is no need for hospitalization, there is usually no need for anesthesia, it can be perfomed on both feet on the same day of treatment and there are no restrictions for normal daily activity.

CRYOSURGERY
Cryoanalgesia is a specialized technique for providing long term pain relief for various chronic podiatric conditions such as Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, neuritis and fibromas.
Cryosurgery is performed in our office, under local anesthesia as a minimally invasive procedure taking appoximately 20 minutes. Sutures are usually not necessary and the dressing may be removed in 24 hours allowing you to resume wearing your shoes and return to most activities in a days time.
This procedure has proven to be extremely successful with long lasting results for chronic foot problems.
