Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive surgical procedure that uses sound waves to stimulate healing in some physical disorders, including plantar fasciitis. �Extracorporeal� means �outside of the body� and refers to the way the therapy is applied. Because there is no incision, extracorporeal shock wave therapy offers two main advantages over traditional surgical methods: fewer potential complications and a faster return to normal activity. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been used extensively for several years to treat plantar fasciitis and other disorders. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is normally performed on an outpatient basis, so it does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. Before the procedure begins, the patient is comfortably positioned and may receive local and/or sedation anesthesia. An Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (for Plantar Fasciitis) may take up to 30 minutes per foot. During the procedure sound waves penetrate the heel area and stimulate the healing response. Sometimes more than one session is needed to adequately treat the inflammation and reduce the patient�s symptoms. Get the right footwear.
