Shockwave Therapy for Heel Pain and Heel Spurs

A Heel Spur is a calcium deposit that develops over time into a sharp bony growth under the heel.

The spur develops in the soft tissue in the heel, which becomes irritated and swells, putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain.

Heel spurs are often a result of improper foot movement during walking or running, poorly fitting shoes and excessive body weight. Visit your Podiatrist regarding X-rays and reducing pain and inflammation.

Podiatrists at The Foot and Ankle Clinic have treated thousands of patients with Heel Pain successfully using a range of treatment modalities but without doubt the ‘gold standard’ in treating persistent, chronic, long term Heel Pain is the Swiss Dolorclast Shockwave Therapy treatment.

How does Dolorclast Shockwave Therapy work?

Dolorclast shockwave therapy works in 2 ways:

1. Reducing pain by decreasing the chemical messengers responsible for the transmission and perception of pain
2. Improved local blood flow to the sore area through the physical effects of the treatment and the promotion of new blood vessel growth in the area.

What does the Dolorclast Shockwave Therapy involve?

After the painful site is identified, shock waves are delivered to the site. Initially the treatment can be uncomfortable but as the treatment progresses the intensity usually improves. An instant improvement in pain is usually noted after the treatment.

Generally three treatments are required at approximately one week intervals.  Generally the period of pain relief increases with every treatment.
