Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is used to treat chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis). "Extracorporeal" means "outside of the body." During this noninvasive procedure, sonic waves are directed at the area of pain using a device similar to that currently used in nonsurgical treatment of kidney stones.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is prescribed for patients who have experienced plantar fasciitis for an extended period of time -- six months or more -- and have not benefited from other conservative treatments. The brief procedure lasts about 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia and/or "twilight" anesthesia. Strong sound waves are directed at and penetrate the heel area to stimulate a healing response by the body. ESWT is performed on an outpatient basis. Although there are no bandages, someone will need to drive the patient home.

People who are not candidates for ESWT include pregnant women and individuals with neurological foot disease, vascular foot disease, pacemakers, or people taking medications that interfere with blood clotting (such as Coumadin).

This therapy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for heel pain and only requires a short recovery time. Clinical studies show a 70 percent success rate for treatment of plantar fasciitis using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy.

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.

The most common cause of heel pain is a heel spur. A heel spur is a bony prominence located on the bottom of the heel bone (see diagram). The major cause of heel spurs is usually due to lowering of this arch or flat feet.

There is a strong ligament on the bottom of the foot called the Plantar Fascia. It is attached to the bottom of the heel bone and stretches across the sole of the foot. The heel spur which is pointed and sharp actually "digs" into this ligament and the ligament becomes inflamed and painful.

The heel spur pain fits a characteristic pattern. It is worse when first stepping on the heel in the morning. Symptoms may then ease up slightly or disappear only to begin again with the first few steps after a period of inactivity.

Initial treatment usually involves injecting the area with Cortisone to help temporarily relieve the pain. A more permanent type of treatment involves the use of custom supports called orthotics. These orthotics go into your shoes and can be transferred from one pair of shoes to another.

The combination of Cortisone injections and orthotics is usually long lasting.

There is a new treatment for this condition, called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).

Shockwave Therapy for Heel Pain Treatment.

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.

Also known as heel spur syndrome, the condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.
